Rosalie herself returned to composing in later life and produced her most vibrant work. This competition celebrates lifelong development of composers and provides a rare opportunity to have a piece professionally rehearsed, performed and recorded. There will be a composition award and two honorary mentions. The winning composition will be performed by the Rosalie Ensemble at the world-renown Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich London during the spring/summer concert season. The winner will be awarded £ 2,000 and both honorary mentions will receive a certificate and a recorded play-through of their works.
