Australian Composers Orchestral Forum provides emerging composers the opportunity to work with a professional symphony orchestra
Australian Composers Orchestral Forum (ACOF) 2002
Running for 25 years, the ACOF project gave emerging composers the opportunity to develop a piece with a professional orchestra, a sympathetic conductor, and expert tutors.
ACOF 2003
In 2003, the first of a two-year cycle, the focus was on meeting deadlines, creating networks and the process of writing for a specific orchestra. Each composer was asked to write a five-minute work.
The host orchestra for 2003 was the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Young. Participants received tutoring from Brenton Broadstock and Andrew Schultz throughout the year, culminating in a workshop and public performance in Hobart on 18 December 2003.
