HARELBEKE, TOWN OF MUSIC 2007-2008

Closing date: 15 April 2008

International Wind Ensemble / Concert Band Composition Contest

The Town of Harelbeke (Belgium)'s aim, in holding for the third time a biennial International Composition Contest, is to consolidate its position as a "Town of Music" on the world map.

Contemporary music, more specifically in the sector of music for wind and percussion instruments, deserves permanent backing. In our role as a Town Council, our aim is to motivate composers and performers and to provide a window onto the world.

The importance of this contest shouldn't be underrated.

Building a musical bridge between international communities is, after all, essential to the future of mankind. The contest makes a contribution towards that.

You will find all the regulations of our International Competition for band music in the Harelbeke, Town of Music 2007-2008 PDF, and on the website: www.ccharelbeke.com

We look forward for your candidacy, and may the music win!
