“The Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra has created its first Young Composers Competition for high school-age composers (18 and younger) who live in North Carolina,” writes Dawn De Cwikiel Kane in Wednesday’s (6/18) News & Record (Greensboro, North Carolina). “The winning composition will receive a public premiere at a youth orchestra concert. The orchestra will record the composition and include it on a 2015 CD. The competition is targeted to professionally-focused young composers under the guidance of a professional composition teacher or mentor. However, all submissions will be considered. Composers are invited to submit a new work for full orchestra of no more than seven minutes ‘ duration. For more details, visit www.gsyo.org and download the submission form. The deadline is Oct. 15. The GSYO, directed by Nathaniel Beversluis, is an educational program of the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra and is designed for highly advanced players interested in performance of large-scale orchestral literature, connecting with local musical professionals, and making friends from around the state.”
