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.

Additional Notes

 

  • There is NO LIMIT to the number of pieces a composer can submit, but we kindly ask that you do not overwhelm us; a good maximum number is around 3. Feel free to email us if yours is a special case.

  • Chosen works remain under the copyright of their composers and do not transfer in any way to Treefalls.

  • Composers whose works have been chosen from Calls for Scores in the past are eligible provided one year has (12 months have) passed since the performance of her/his piece on the Treefalls series.

  • In addition to the $250 that will be awarded to the composer of the chosen work, a small travel stipend will be given to attend the March 4 concert in Spartanburg, SC. Treefalls will be happy to assist in finding a suitable hotel, offer driving directions, etc.

  • Award checks will come from the "Music Foundation of Spartanburg" and will be given to composers at the concert. Travel expenses will be in the form of reimbursement and/or paid by the MFS also at the time of the concert.

  • Treefalls reserves the right to not choose a piece if none are deemed suitable or we cannot accommodate them in the time given. We also reserve the right to choose more than one piece as well, so send us your stuff!

* Ultimately, we will choose the piece that best suits both the program and the ensemble. However, in keeping with the Mission of the organization, our desire is to present works that have not been heard before.

With sincerest thanks to:
John Fitz Rogers, Robert Kyr, and Michael Harley
for inspiring this New Music concert series, for their advice and help in building this flourishing program, and for their ongoing support of New Music in our time.
