Opportunity for Composers

Composers of Internet2 (CI2):
A Technology-Enabled Composition Contest


Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the National Institute for Technology & Liberal Education invite young composers to participate in an exciting new competition!

This inaugural "call for compositions" seeks works for unaccompanied cello in celebration of Dr. Ronald Crutcher, Wheaton's new president and cellist. Mr. Craig Hultgren, cellist and activist for new music, will perform and record all the winning works.

Winners will receive feedback from professional composers and cellists via Internet 2 videoconferences. If they desire it, they will be allowed revision time before the professional recordings are made.In addition to receiving expert guidance, participants will benefit from interacting with members of a community of practice, exposure to a variety of careers, and access a broad listening audience.

Timeline:
* Submission deadline: January 3, 2005
* Winners announced: mid-February
* Coaching sessions: March
* Performances via Internet2: June
