The Joyce Dixey Composition Competition

The annual Joyce Dixey competition is one of the highlights of the academic year in the Department of Music and Media. The competition is open to student composers at all levels of study from undergraduates to doctoral students. The competition has run since the 1980s and many distinguished Surrey alumni have been amongst the winners; any musical style is admissible so expect the unexpected. This year’s guest adjudicator is the acclaimed classical guitarist and composer, Gary Ryan.
