Sunday Concerts: The Clements Prize for Composers
Conway Hall, Main Hall, WC1R 4RL , [Venue Details]Alfred J. Clements (1858-1938) was the organiser and secretary of the South Place Sunday Concerts (predecessor of Conway Hall Sunday Concerts) from their inception in 1887 until his death.
In the first half of the twentieth century the competition bearing his name encouraged the composition of new chamber works, establishing a tradition which set Conway Hall right at the centre of British contemporary music.
The 2025 competition calls for short works for piano duet, by composers aged 35 and under. Scores submitted for previous competitions from the Conway Hall Archive will also be available via the Conway Hall website and a selection exhibited before the final round performance.
You'll see the live final performance by Clíodna Shanahan and Simon Callaghan, an afternoon workshop with the composers, and to the exhibition of scores in Conway Hall’s Library. There will be live judging from an expert panel, as well as the opportunity for you to cast your own vote for the winner of the audience prize.
The chosen compositions and details of the panel will be announced in September 2025.
