The style of the five minute piece is jolly, atonal and contrapuntal, and will require at least one full rehearsal. There is no score as yet, because I am waiting to see which intstruments are available. The piece will be performed alongside other Goldsmiths Masters composition students.
The fee is a bottle of wine, and there will also be ample refreshments at the rehearsal/s.

Hello
Firstly may I introduce myself to you. I am
the new Director of Arts Council England, South East. I would like to invite you
to take part in an important consultation which aims to identify the future
priorities for the arts.
The arts have flourished in the last 15
years, and there is now a genuine acceptance that they are part of our fabric as
a nation. We want to build on that strength, but in our constantly changing
environment, we need to work together to achieve the very best for the arts and
opportunities to engage.
Earlier this month we launched our
consultation - Achieving great art for everyone – which sets out Arts
Council England’s understanding of the current landscape, celebrates the success
of the arts and identifies areas for the development over the next ten
years
We want to hear your thoughts on the way forward. Your views will
inform our long term strategic framework and our next set of investment
decisions.
OCVA - Creation Grantarea - Oxfordshiredeadline - Monday 15 February 2010Oxfordshire Community and Voluntary Action (OCVA) is able to offer small grants of up to £500 to voluntary and community groups in Oxfordshire. This funding is largely due to the generosity of Creation Theatre, who donated the proceeds of one of their performances to OCVA for this purpose. The total amount available is around £7,500. A panel of OCVA Trustees will meet to decide on the award of the grants.Any voluntary or community group active in Oxfordshire can apply,not just those involved in Theatre and the Arts. You do not need to be registered but you should be constituted. It does not matter how long your group has been in existence or what your annual income is. However, given the size of the grants, they are more likely to be awarded to groups with little or no income. You will need a bank account with two signatories that the grant can be paid into.Grants can be for activities, or materials and equipment that will help your group deliver its aims. The application can be for a new activity or for continuing an existing, successful activity. It can be an emergency payment that will help solve an urgent difficulty. You will need to explain how the grant will make a difference to people.Application forms and guidelines can be downloaded from the Oxnet website www.oxnet.org.uk/creation-grant-offer. If you need help to complete the form, please contact the OCVA Development Team on 01865 251946.
