Recorder31 Day 15 | WIN a Fehr Alto Recorder in our Composition Challenge

Today our Recorder31 compeitition has been generously supported by our friends at Kunath, and one lucky winner will receive a fantastic Fehr Model IV alto recorder in stunning rosewood. Read on to find out how to enter!

This week, it's time for you all to get creative! Over the last century, players and composers have vastly added to the recorder's repertoire with new works. This week, we want to hear music you've composed for the recorder.

The piece should be performed by its composer and last no longer than five minutes in duration. Film yourself performing your piece and submit it for a chance to win! 

There's no need to have composed the piece this week – we know it sometimes takes time for the creative juices to flow! So long as it's come from your compositional pen, we don't mind when it was written.

We can't wait to hear your compositions!
