Student Composer Competition

PARMA Recordings is pleased to announce the 2013 PARMA Student Composer Competition, the second in a series of annual competitions for student composers.
 
Ten winners will be selected to have their work published in the
2013 PARMA Anthology Of Music, and one Grand Prize Winner will be selected to have their piece performed at the PARMA Music Festival (August 15-17, 2013 in Portsmouth NH).  All ensemble, rehearsal, and publicity costs will be completely subsidized by PARMA, and the performance will be included in all promotional materials for the Festival.
 
There is no fee for entry. The call for scores and full submission details will be distributed on March 29th, and submissions will be accepted from April 1st until April 30th. More information will be included in the official Call For Scores and on the PARMA website.
  

Last year's competition produced an outstanding response, with hundreds of students submitting works for consideration. The ten winners are featured in the 2012 PARMA Anthology of Music, and Grand Prize Winner Quinn Dizon's Awakening was recorded by Clayton Hoener, Peter Sulski, Ron Lowry, and Hannah Shields in August 2012 and is featured on the upcoming album PERCEPTIONS (Navona Records).

New CD - Robyn Schulkowsky

Armadillo (1990–2007) is one large-scale piece in four sections lasting approximately an hour. One might think of the image of a Mayan temple, with a large broad base rising pyramid-like to smaller structures at the top. Almost all of the music’s sound is from drums, in a full range from high to very low. The trio’s playing is virtuosic, precise and finely modulated in color and dynamics.
