Hey, you! We want to commission you. Launching in Summer 2018, our inaugural PREMIERE|Project Festival will provide selected composers with a remarkable workshop-commission experience by offering in-depth seminars, mentoring sessions with renowned composers, and interactive rehearsals with a choral ensemble. What is the PREMIERE|Project Festival? A composer's dream destination: Imagine a place where you could come to finalize a composition in a workshop setting with a chorus, talk about the business side of living as a composer, learn with renowned composition faculty, receive a commission scholarship for the completed work, have the work premiered, and establish a distribution deal with a music retailer. In less than a week. Welcome to PREMIERE|Project. I'm Interested. What's the Criteria to be a Composition Fellow? The criteria for Composition Fellows is simple. We don't like trying to sort composers by "emerging" or "emerged." Rather, if you consider yourself a learning composer regardless of age or career status, PREMIERE|Project is the place for you. The application requirements are: • A portfolio of three compositions, at least one of which must be for chorus. • Recordings for all three works (at least one of which must be a live performance; MIDI recordings are okay). • A list of prior works and performances. • A biography and resume. • A statement for the piece you intend to write or complete as part of the PREMIERE|Project Festival. • You must come to the PREMIERE|Project Festival with an unpremiered work that is in progress, near completion, or a finalized work in draft form which you are willing to potentially adjust in the workshop setting. In addition, you must complete the composition within the PREMIERE|Project Festival timeline to receive its world premiere. • The composition must be for SATB chorus (with or without divisi) and appropriate for high school, collegiate, or professional chorus. The work may either be a cappella, with piano accompaniment, or with a solo accompanying instrument. |
