A springboard for aspiring Malaysian composers to flourish and embark on a transformative journey.
Driven by our unwavering commitment to fostering the growth of Malaysian composers, we are delighted to announce the return of our initiative, now rebranded as the Emerging Composers Initiative. This dynamic programme will once again provide a platform for emerging talents, offering a series of online workshops, one-on-one mentoring sessions with seasoned professionals and exclusive networking opportunities to further participants' careers.

Open to composers and/or musicians living, studying or working in Malaysia, regardless of age, this initiative is a beacon of openness and opportunity. It serves as a springboard for emerging composers, connecting them with experienced mentors and peers from across the country. 

The 2025 edition will focus on film scoring by working closely with our mentors and filmmaking students from Sunway University. Four exceptional Malaysian composers will be selected to embark on a transformative three-month journey of mentorship and training. Their compositions will be premiered in July 2025 at an exclusive event.

We are immensely grateful for the generous support of ABRSM, our strategic partner at Rondo Production, whose unwavering commitment makes this initiative possible.

Together, let us empower the next generation of Malaysian composers to reach new heights of artistic excellence. Apply now and be part of this extraordinary opportunity!
