Calling all women composers
Post-Dispatch Classical Music
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is accepting entries for its third annual Elaine Lebenbom Memorial Competition for Women Composers.
The international competition offers a $10,000 prize and a chance for the winner to have her work given its premiere as a part of the DSO’s classical subscription series.
It’s open to all women composers of any age or nationality, but entrants have to send in a resume, a completed application form, sample scores of up to three completed works (including one scored for full orchestra), and “supporting audio and/or video representation of at least one, preferably symphonic, work.”
The deadline is July 31, 2008. For more information, see www.detroitsymphony.com.
