Westminster Concert Series: Hear & Now

February 24
7:30 pm

Vieve Gore Concert Hall, Jewett Center for the Performing Arts and Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory

Celebrating its third year commissioning a new work by an emerging composer of color, Hear & Now seeks to build greater understanding and empathy by widening the repertoire that has been generationally limited in classical music spheres. The prize includes a commissioning fee, a professional recording of their new work, travel, and housing costs in Salt Lake City and time to work with students and speak with audiences at the world premiere. This year's call for compositions is for solo piano or solo piano + electronics.
