Collegiate Composer Competition
The 2017 event is being divided into two workshops of different categories, one for all-auditioned chamber choir and one for non-auditioned community choir. Two pieces, to be selected by a review panel, will be featured on each workshop. Each piece that is chosen will receive a high-quality recording during the workshop and a possible performance on one of the participating choir's spring programs. Deadlines, dates, and locations are listed in the 2017 CALL FOR SCORES (above). Questions about next year's event should be directed towards James Wilson: wilson@wesley.edu
