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. 

40PLUS COMPOSITION COMPETITION 2025 NOW OPEN

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Rosalie Coopman 40plus Composition Competition.

Rosalie herself returned to composing in later life and produced her most vibrant work. This competition celebrates lifelong development of composers and provides a rare opportunity to have a piece professionally rehearsed, performed and recorded.

 The winning composition will be performed by the Rosalie Ensemble at the world-renown Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich London during the spring/summer concert season and the winner will be awarded £ 2,000.00. There will also be honorary mentions for two further submissions, which will also be performed, receive a certificate and a recorded play-through of their works.
