Fall 2015
Congratulations Chandler Hyatt, Julie Mitchell, and Isaac Pyatt!
After much deliberation, the judges have chosen Disjunction by composer Chandler Hyatt (Greer, SC) to be premiered at the next Espresso concert here in Spartanburg, SC. Honorable Mentions were awarded to both Julie Mitchell (Atlanta, GA) for her piece Vérfürdő and to Isaac Pyatt (Greensboro, NC) for his piece Morn.
We were delighted to see so many active composers producing such wonderful and inventive works. This project has given us continued hope for the future of New Music! Many thanks to everyone who participated.
