ASME XXIV National Young Composers Project, 3-5 July, Sydney
Submission deadline Monday May 15 2023
As part of the 2023 ASME Conference in Sydney, student composers are invited to submit a composition to ASME Vic. One student composer will be selected to travel to the 2023 Conference in Sydney, to participate in a series of composition workshops with Holly Harrison and Ensemble Offspring, as well as attend some of the conference sessions.
Compositions will be:
- for flute, clarinet, cello, and piano
- performed by Ensemble Offspring
- 4-6 minutes in length
- embrace the conference theme Music Unleashed
All student compositions will be performed by Ensemble Offspring during the Young Composers Concert on Wednesday, July 5.
The deadline for submission is Monday 15 May 2023. Young composers are to email a short online entry form, pdf versions of the full score and parts of the composition, along with an mp3 recording. Midi versions are fine, and you can submit recordings with live instruments if you wish.
The selected student should be either in the last 2 years of high school or the first 2 years of an undergraduate course. The cost of students attending the conference, including registration, airfares, and accommodation, will be covered by ASME Vic. Any student under 18 at the time of the conference, must have an accompanying adult, who will travel at their own expense.
