Launched: The King's Singers New Music Prize

Throughout history, music has provided hope and healing at some of societies’ most challenging times. We’ve just launched The King’s Singers New Music Prize to recognize, develop, and encourage a spirit of musical creativity in today’s world. Through this Prize, we hope to leave the world a musically richer place than we found it.

The New Music Prize is generously supported by Ronald C. Gunnell and The King’s Singers Global Foundation, and forms part of the Foundation’s vision for #FindingHarmony in our divided world.

You can find out more about the prize on its dedicated webpage, which contains the information pack, prizes, key dates and everything else you need to enter the competition. Even if you're not a composer, or you're not sure about entering, we've arranged a special series of free digital workshops, so that you can still be involved, and learn from some of the very best in the business. These will take place every Saturday in August, and you can find out more from the information and our social media channels.Here's our launch video, explaining a bit more about our decision to launch this competition:
