Guildhall School of Music & Drama Associated Project

Six composition students from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama have been chosen to compose short pieces inspired by the work of Canadian choreographer, Paul-AndrĂ© Fortier. These pieces will be scored for up to four percussionists and electronics. The composition project will culminate in an exciting rare indoor performance of Fortier’s Solo 30x30, accompanied by the premieres of the composers’ works (Tuesday 30 October).

Biography: The Guildhall School of Music & Drama is one of Europe's leading conservatoires, offering musicians, actors, stage managers and theatre technicians an inspiring environment in which to develop as artists and professionals. Performance lies at the heart of music education at the Guildhall School and this project continues the School’s collaboration with Dance Umbrella and international choreographers.
