Huw Watkins presents the first in the series of 'short' commissions from UK student composers. Starting at 6.45pm and lasting 30 minutes, David Curtis and Huw Watkins, OOTS’ ’Composer in the House’, will be joined by the orchestra to explore a brand new ‘short’ work written especially for this event by four leading Birmingham conservatoire students. Come and learn about the creative process, see how a rehearsal shapes the piece and ask the conductor, composer and players the questions you’ve always wanted to. The 'Shorts' Series is part of the Composer in the House scheme.
