Young Composers’ Competition

Saturday, April 2, 2022

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2022

We are inviting young composers to participate in the LCMS Young Composers’ Competition!

Composers will have the opportunity to work with the Rose Gellert String Quartet and professional musicians during a workshop in which their pieces will be performed and critiqued by the musicians and a jury of three prominent composers. Winning works will receive cash awards and a public performance.

Composers must be present for the workshop.

Leonard Woods Memorial Awards will be awarded to the winners in each category (cash awards): Junior $200, Senior $300, College/University $500. Winning works will receive a public performance by the Rose Gellert String Quartet at a date to be determined, depending on COVID restrictions.
