The Rosalie Coopman  Music Foundation

The Rosalie Coopman Music Foundation was established in 2022 to support the practice of musical composition. We aim to encourage younger (those under 25) and older (over 40 years-of -age) composers. In 2024 we agreed a partnership with the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in Greenwich, London. Our partnership allows us to support students of composition, while collaborating in the offer of an Award for composition by over 40s, unlike almost all other composition competitions. 

 THE 40+ COMPOSITION COMPETITION 2027

This collaboration with Trinity Laban celebrates composers who are over 40, unlike almost all other composition competitions. Rosalie herself returned to composing in later life and produced her most vibrant work. This competition celebrates the lifelong development of composers and provides a rare opportunity to have a piece professionally rehearsed, performed and recorded.

There will be a composition award and two honorary mentions. These  will all be performed by the Rosalie Ensemble at the world renowned Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich London during the spring/summer concert season, receive a certificate and a recorded play-through of their works. In addition, the winner will be awarded  £ 2,000.
