Along with seminars for the participant composers, there is a 3-hour workshop in early spring, allowing the participants to experiment new ideas, talk to players and receive advice and feedback in a constructive and inquisitive environment. This is followed by further workshop-rehearsals leading to the final concert performance in July. Also during the year the composers have the chance to attend concerts, observe rehearsals, meet visiting guest composers and get involved with the LPO’s wider education work. • We are very grateful to The Leverhulme Trust for their funding for the programme 2016 – 2019. During that time participants on the scheme will be known as ‘Leverhulme Arts Scholars’ in recognition of their commitment and support. • Alumni of the scheme include Steven Daverson (Siemens Music Foundation Prizewinner 2011), Mica Levi (singer/songwriter, Micachu and the Shapes) and Laura Jayne Bowler (Founder and Artistic Director of Size Zero Opera company). • Website: https://www.lpo.org.uk • YouTube: / londonphilharmonicorchestra • Facebook: / londonphilharmonicorchestra • Instagram: / londonphilharmonicorchestra
