Rambert Dance Company - New Music 20x12

New Music 20x12

We are very proud to have been chosen by PRS for Music Foundation to be part of this exciting and imaginative project, in which Gavin Higgins will score a new ballet for Rambert as part of the Cultural Olympiad.

New Music 20x12 is a UK wide programme which consists of 20 outstanding new works, each lasting 12 minutes, commissioned to feature centre stage of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. New Music 20x12 commissions will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and tour the UK, enabling as many people as possible to enjoy excellent new music as part of our celebrations of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

These commissions are full of the energy, hope and excitement that will emanate from across the Cultural Olympiad and the Games themselves. They are inspired by the dynamism of Olympic and Paralympic sports, the passion of human endeavour so central to the Games, and the once in a lifetime opportunity of creating a musical work contributing to a global celebration.
