RPS and BBC Radio 3 launch hunt for unjustly neglected British music

The UK's Royal Philharmonic Society is searching for British chamber music pieces that deserve a second hearing. Its new Encore project will select twelve works to be performed and broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 2011 and 2012. The pieces must have been written by a living British composer, have had at least one professional performance, and have not been performed professionally in the UK since 2005.
A previous Encore project in 2004 resulted in performances of 14 orchestral works by such composers as Diana Burrell, Colin Matthews, Judith Bingham and Steve Martland.
