Inal Bilsel
London, UK |
| Listen to Inal's composition, Nilay's Dream, as played by the London Symphony Orchestra |
 |
|
|
| Composing since he was 17 years of age, Inal Bilsel finds deadlines as his
biggest challenge - but also his biggest motivation. "I love composing even
if I know it won't be performed or I will not be paid," said Inal, "it is rather an enjoyment for me." He finds a number of rewards being a composer.
"For me even a short performance of my work is very satisfying.
Recognition is perhaps a composer's biggest reward." |

promising artist has performed with the Nova Sinfonai and Chebucto Symphony Orchestra. |

Nathaniel Daw
Leongatha, Australia |
| Listen to Nathaniel Daw's composition, The Guardian; Movement 1 |
|
|
|
Nathaniel created his first composition when he was eleven after his piano teacher asked all
her students to compose a short piece. He's come a long way: working towards a Bachelor
of Multimedia Systems at Monash University during the first Realize Music Challenge. In
addition to piano this emerging composer plays tuba, electric and double bass and drums.
He hopes his compositions will "help all people to learn and enjoy orchestral music." |

Ian Cugley
Dorset, UK |
| Listen to Ian Cugley's composition, Ritual |
|
|
|
After receiving his Bachelor of Music Degree at the University of Sydney, Ian went to lecture in
Music and computing at the University of Tasmania. Ian gained early recognition for his work,
mostly in chamber pieces. Two large orchestral works, Pan, the Lake and Prelude for Orchestra,
have been performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He claims there are no rewards
for composing, describing it as an "addiction. The process is its own reward." But Ian adds, "well the applause is nice." |
