Published on September 27, 2010 by Christy Tennant

The New York Virtuoso Singers will devote its entire 2011-2012 season to the music of women composers throughout the world. Therefore, the next competition is limited to women composers. It is not required that you send recordings. However, you may send one if you wish, as a MP3, a MIDI, or by snail mail. Published works are acceptable.  The winners will receive a public performance in New York City of their choral compositions by THE NEW YORK VIRTUOSO SINGERS.

Founded in 1988 by conductor Harold Rosenbaum, The New York Virtuoso Singers has become this country's leading exponent of contemporary choral music. Although the chorus performs music of all periods, its emphasis is on commissioning, performing, and recording the music of living composers.

ELIGIBLE SUBMISSIONS:  All a cappella works for female chorus, and those with piano accompaniment may be submitted. If the text is not in the public domain, composers must submit a letter confirming that permission has been given from the author or poet to set the text to music.

APPLICATION FEE:  None. There is no limit to the number of scores submitted.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  There is no formal application form required with the submission of scores. The postmarked deadline for the 2011 competition is April 8, 2011.
Scores should be sent to:

Canticorum Virtuosi, Inc.
2 Cove Road,
South Salem, New York 10590-1023.
Scores and CDs will not be returned.
