Four composers from around the world will be selected through a portfolio application process to compose a work to be performed by the internationally acclaimed new music ensemble, Alarm Will Sound. Composers will take part in discussions and lessons with guest composers Chen Yi, BandQuest and ChoralQuest composer, and David T. Little; take part in workshops with Alarm Will Sound and receive a professional live recording of the premiere performance of their work.
The four selected resident composers will be expected to compose a work for Alarm Will Sound’s complete instrumentation lasting up to 8 minutes in duration. Each selected resident composer must submit a finished preliminary score by April 20, 2021 for review by Alarm Will Sound, and professionally prepared scores (2) and parts of the final work are due by May 11, 2021.
