Hugh Davidson Composer Readings
Each season, the VS puts out a call for composers to submit new work to the symphony. Dedicated to the late Hugh Davidson, a strong supporter of new music, this program provides the opportunity for composers writing music for orchestra to have their pieces rehearsed by the VS, receive feedback, and an archival recording of their work. The Hugh Davidson Composer Readings are facilitated by Taylor Brook, VS Composer-Mentor in Residence.
Applications for the 2026 Hugh Davidson Composer Readings will open in September 2025.
Contact Soile Stratkauskas, soile@victoriasymphony.ca with any questions.
This program is funded by the Hugh Davidson Fund at the Victoria Foundation and underwritten in part by the John H. & Margery M. McEown Trust for the Performing Arts, and the Sunflower Fund.
