Purcell Composers Remarkable Achievements in Composition

We are thrilled to announce that Adi (Year 13) has recently achieved significant milestones in her composition career:

Mostly Modern Festival NYC: Adi‘s chamber work for six players has been accepted for performance at the Mostly Modern Festival, taking place from 5th to 20th June 2025 in New York. Her piece will be performed by the American Modern Ensemble, a notable accomplishment considering the festival typically features professional composers.

ORIENT/OCCIDENT Music Composers’ Competition 2025: Adi‘s two orchestral compositions have both advanced to the finals of the 10th Edition of the ORIENT/OCCIDENT Music Composers’ Competition, scheduled for 6th to 9th February 2025. Her works will be rehearsed and performed by the KLK Symphony Orchestra in Ukraine. This competition is open to composers of all ages, making Adi’s dual finalist status particularly impressive.

The Sound Ensemble Composition Competition: Adi was a finalist in the High School Category of this competition, demonstrating her growing recognition in the field.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Adi for these outstanding accomplishments and look forward to her continued success in the world of composition.
