New Generation Artists & Composers

The SPO’s New Generation Program supports both emerging musicians and composers through performance and mentorship opportunities in the orchestra, ensembles and as solo performers. Program streams include:

• New Generation Composer Program: Composition students and early career composers are invited to a juried competition to win a multi-month mentorship with a culminating performance
• New Generation Film Composer Program: In collaboration with Sheridan College, New Generation composers are engaged in creating original scores for animated shorts and will receive mentoring from experienced film composers
•  New Generation Musician Program: Orchestra positions for students and emerging professionals.  Participants of this program are paid to perform with the SPO, will receive mentoring, and are eligible for other possible opportunities.
