NZSO NYO Composers in Residence

SOUNZ Virtual Concert

Guest curators from the NZSO, Hamish McKeich (Principal Conductor in Residence) and Bridget Douglas (Section Principal Flute) present works by three of Aotearoa’s most exciting young composers, all graduates of the NZSM.

Multi award-winning composer, Salina Fisher, wrote ‘Rainphase’ when she was the 2015 NZSO NYO Composer in Residence. The work has had phenomenal success and has since been performed around the world.

Reuben Jelleyman has received international recognition for his works and is currently studying at the Conservatoire de Paris. ‘Vespro’ was written when he was the 2017 NZSO NYO Composer in Residence.

Tabea Squire was the youngest ever NZSO NYO Composer in Residence in 2008. ‘Ao’ was written in 2016 and performed by the NZSO at the NZ Composer Sessions in 2017.
