“The Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra is pleased to announce the participants of our Composer Fellowship Program for the 2024-25 season. Awarded to early-career, Ontario-based composers, the fellowship program offers free artistic and professional mentorship with HPO musicians, staff, HPO Music Director and Composer-in-Residence, Abigail Richardson-Schulte. Supported by the Ontario Region of the Canadian Music Centre, two Composer Fellowship positions were available to applicants: one for composers 25 and under and another for those 26 and over.
A jury of HPO artistic leadership and musicians reviewed the applications to make selections. Composer Fellows chosen for our 2024-25 season include Massimo Guida in the 26 and over category and Tsz Long (Fish) Yu in the 25 and under category.
The HPO is also excited to announce two Future Award winners, Neda Samavati and Sky Yang. This category is offered to applicants who show exceptional promise. This program includes an orchestra reading of a short work, a chance to be involved in the Composer Fellowship program staff sessions, and additional mentorship…”
