Tiantian Zhu Selected Sound and Music Shortlist 09
Congratulations to CDR member: Tiantian Zhu is one of only nine artists to be selected this year by Sound and Music for their prestigious Shortlist for 2009.
Four organisations – British Music Information Centre (BMIC), Contemporary Music Network (CMN), Sonic Arts Network (SAN) and Society for the Promotion of New Music (SPNM) – have combined to create the UK’s first national development agency. Sound and Music (www.soundandmusic.org) is the UK’s landmark agency for new music and sonic art, working in partnership with complementary organisations to raise awareness of this vital and inspiring art form.
The Shortlist is a collection of composers and sonic artists including some of the freshest emerging talent in the UK, who are selected for promotion and professional development over the course of three years by Sound and Music. Each year a large panel of judges representing a diverse range of musical tastes selects composers and sonic artists to join the Shortlist.
Since 1943 many of the UK’s leading composers have been ‘discovered’ and have received some of their earliest professional performances through The Shortlist. The Shortlist will develop into a programme, where outstanding creative talent in the UK can be developed into world-class creators of new music and sound.
