PROGRAMME
The programme will feature entrants for the 2025 Clements Prize, a biennial composition competition organised by London’s Conway Hall. Composers under the age of 35 were invited to submit a ten minute piece for piano duet. This recital includes the eight pieces that received the most support from the public vote on the occasion of that competition. Our audience will be invited to adjudicate those finalists and we will announce these secondary results during the evening to compare our findings with the original jury for the competition.
