In celebration of Make Music Day, and of all the young composers stuck at home this spring, Make Music Alliance is hosting a composition contest for composers aged 13-21.
Over the spring and early summer months, young composers were invited to write a short, 3-minute piece for SATB vocal quartet, set to William Carlos Williams’s poem, By the road to the contagious hospital. A panel of distinguished judges, made up of composers David T. Little, Ellen Reid, Christopher Tin, and conductor Anna Lapwood, have selected three winning pieces and seven honorable mentions. All ten pieces will be professionally recorded by the all-destar Make Music Quarantet, and debut on June 21st from 12pm-5pm Eastern.
The livestream will take place at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific.
