 IT'S A NEW YEAR! HELLO, 2016!

2015 was a great year for us and we're ready to take on 2016!  All of us at World Projects would like to you wish you a Happy New Year and we hope that you had a wonderful holiday!  We have a lot planned for 2016, and we hope you'll be coming with us.

 THE NEW WP COMPOSITION CONTEST WINNER!

World Projects is proud to announce Unsung Hero by Kayvon Emtiaz as the 1st place winner of the 2015 Composition Contest!! Competition between the submission was tough last year and while there was indeed a clear winner, another piece could not go unrecognized. Tranquillo by Christopher Lowry was awarded a 2nd place prize. Both winners will have their premieres at Carnegie Hall on June 14th with Lynbrook High School Orchestra performing Tranquillo in the afternoon and the Denver Young Artists Orchestra performing Unsung Hero as part of the evening concert. We are so excited to have brought such beautiful artistry together. Mark your calendars for these promising premieres!!

WORLD PROJECTS COMMISSIONING PROJECT

2016 marks the third festival season of the World Projects Commissioning Project. Having started out of a partnership with the Boston Composers’ Coalition, the commissioning project has begun to incorporate composers outside of this coalition as well to write specially commissioned pieces for groups in attendance at World Projects festivals. The Composers in Residence this year include the following:

Composers in Residence

Andrew Smith  Chicago International Music Festival
Jeremy Van Buskirk New York Sounds of Spring International Music Festival
