First, thanks again to all composers who submitted their excellent and imaginative compositions for consideration for our upcoming concert. We were overwhelmed by the creative breadth and ingenuity of the works we received. It was a difficult process to consider each of the works, and to finally determine the works that will constitute our September program.
The selected works are:
- The Colors of Dream - Anthony Iannaccone
- Purgatorio - Michael-Thomas Foumai
- Train of Thought - Tyler Harrison
- Sarabande – Brynjar Boe
- Chapter Finál - Michael A. Mogensen
- Philosophy of Miracle – Natalia Rojcovscaia
- Across an American Sky - Joseph Carrillo
As stated on our site, we have a particular focus in our selection of music, and we make these determinations in the context of a broader integrated vision of art, poetry, and music. We mention this to reinforce that our choice to not include any particular work is a function not only of our aesthetic consideration of the work on its own, but also how it will dovetail within the full scope of our events. We sincerely encourage all the composers who submitted work to join arms with us in this project, which transcends a single composer, concert, or composition. We, together, have a stake in promoting and building an audience for new orchestral music, and even if your specific work was not selected for this event, please consider submitting another work for an upcoming call for scores and helping us spread the word about this platform for the presentation of new orchestral music.
