New composition for percussion in 2008

By kevin | May 5, 2008

I’ve decided to do something a bit different, and out of the ordinary this month at ktpercussion.com

I’m offering just three schools worldwide the opportunity to work with me virtually to create a brand new work for percussion.

In January I offered a special package deal when I agreed to do a short commissioned work as part of the package. This has turned out to be a lot more enjoyable than I expected, as I’ve been able to communicate with Teachers in the schools about what they need and create something special just for them.

Due to the nature of the package offer it was only a short piece, and fairly limited in its scope. Some of these pieces will be released on the website later this year.

What I’ve decided to do now is take this a little further and offer my services as a “virtual composer in residence” to work with the schools to create a brand new work for percussion.

I obviously can’t travel to the school (unless it happens to be local to where I am in Australia), but I can gather information about the type of work you’d like and discuss with you what you’d like to achieve for the school, and then create something brand new and unique to your school.

I’m even happy to create a work for Concert Band or School Orchestra, but remembering that my skills and focus is on percussion, so the work would have to feature percussion in some way.

Just imagine the benefits for your school:

I am only offering to do this for three schools. It may take a week, it may take a month, or it might take all year for this offer to be taken up, but one thing I do know is that I won’t be able to offer it again at such a low price!
