Lilia Bloom Award 2024
AMAT Lab announces the second edition of the Lilia Bloom Award, an International Songwriting Competition aimed at all composers and arrangers who wish to engage in writing for a cappella voices, a characteristic of our Unconventional Singers.
It is from the friendship and collaboration of the group with the American patrons Lilia and Barry Bloom that the idea of the Award was born, in honor of Lilia. If last year it found space within the Femfestival, from this year the Lilia Bloom Award becomes an independent project and foresees the final phase next July in New York with the award concert performed by the Unconventional Singers.
Once again, after Les Bider, the competition has an exceptional Jury President, James Williams, general manager of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and from next September CEO of the Royal Academy of Music.
