OUR JUDGES





Anthony Gray - Conductor and Artistic Director of Halifax Choral Society
"This is a wonderful opportunity for composers of all ages and levels of experience to write for probably the world’s best brass band, and to have your work showcased to two big audiences. I’m really looking forward to seeing what composers have to offer!
Darius Battiwalla, Artistic Director of Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus
Niki Zohdi, Composer and Tenor
“This is a great opportunity to work with two wonderful choral societies as well as the Black Dyke Band – one of the best brass bands in the world!”
Matthew Coleridge, Composer
“There’s something very special about hearing a choir at Christmas, and although there are so many timeless carols, there’s always room for fresh ideas from composers. My own first composition, aged eight, was a Christmas carol, but I’m sure our entrants will come up with something infinitely better!"
