Let your heart speak out.  Let the world hear.

The compositional effort behind each piece of original music forms part of the cornerstone of our music history, and as a music institution, the HKCO cannot be more aware of the greatness of this potential. Since we created the Music from the Heart series in 1999, we have been recruiting and performing new works, holding discussion forums etc., in a bid to encourage young composers to keep up the forward momentum of Chinese music. Over the years, we have helped launch several talented composers to success. They have become key players in the music world today, and garnered prizes and accolades on international front. We are therefore calling out to all composers –this is your opportunity to let the world hear your music, send in your work now!

Submission deadline: 17 March 2017

Introduction
Music compositions form the cornerstone of music history, and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra has been playing an active role in its making since 1999 through Music from the Heart, an open platform that invites original works from talented composers, followed by performance and discussions. Many talents have been discovered and they have been active on the music scene and garnered international awards since.

To continue with the momentum, another open invitation for original works from local composers(*) will

take place in 2017.  Entries that have not been previously published will be given priority evaluation.


(*This open invitation is for holders of a valid Hong Kong Identity Card only.)

Requirements: Ensemble music
The submitted work should be for Chinese ensemble of not more than 38 pieces, and the duration should be within 10 minutes.
(For the 38-piece setup and the tonal range of instruments for the Chinese orchestra, please visit the page: Click here)
Submission deadline

All submissions should be sent by mail to reach the office of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra not later than 17 March 2017 (by postmark date). Please mark on the envelope ‘Music from the Heart – Invitation for Original Compositions’. 


Each submission should include one full score, the Application Form duly filled in, the composer’s resume, brief introduction of the entry, a DEMO of the entry work, and a digital score stored in ‘Finale’(or ‘Sibelius’) and PDF formats.

Performance

Selected works will be performed by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra in the Music from the Heart concert held on 13 May 2017. 

A nominal royalty fee of HK$5,000 will be paid for the work selected and performed, and the composer of the said work may continue to be commissioned for arranging or writing new works by the Orchestra in the future.
