December 30, 201411 yr Dear YoungComposers members, I am posting on behalf of the Chelsea Symphony, a young non-profit orchestra located in NYC (http://www.chelseasymphony.org) composed of professional musicians and highly-trained amateur players. Our organization is currently holding its Inaugural Composition Competition and still taking submissions. The winning entry will be performed on the orchestra’s season finale concerts on May 15 and 16, 2015. The winning composer will also receive a professional recording of the performances and an honorarium of $250. The winning selection will be chosen by acclaimed conductor and composer Gerard Schwarz, Conductor Laureate of the Seattle Symphony and Music Director of the All-Star Orchestra, in conjunction with a panel of musicians from The Chelsea Symphony. Participants must be early-career composers under the age of 40 at the time of submission and reside in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut. A complete listing of eligibility requirements and submission guidelines is available on our website at http://www.chelseasymphony.org/competition. Note that the submission deadline is January 2nd, 2015 (this Friday) - which likely doesn't leave enough time for a new composition, but if anyone happens to have a composition that fits the requirements I encourage you to submit your work! Thank you for your time, and blessed holiday wishes to everyone!
