Composer Lab is a professional development initiative delivered in partnership by the National Symphony Orchestra and the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland. Now in its seventh year, Composer Lab is aimed at composers who wish to write for symphony orchestra and focuses on providing these composers with a creative and open environment to deepen their experience in writing for symphonic forces, under the mentorship of composer David Fennessy. Alongside the opportunity to hear these new works broadcast live, the programme will also include on-stage interviews regarding the process of the project with presenter Paul Herriott, composer mentor David Fennessy, and the participating composers.
