Press Release

VocalEssence and ACF announce 2011 Essentially Choral — Call for Scores

VocalEssence and the American Composers Forum (ACF)
announce a call for scores for the ninth annual Essentially Choral reading
session, a unique opportunity for
talented, emerging composers to write for voices and instruments.  Through this program, Essentially
Choral
seeks creative and innovative works in a wide range of styles and
provides a unique opportunity for talented, emerging composers to work with a
professional chorus.

Up to five composers from Minnesota and
the five boroughs of New York City will be selected to have
their works-in-progress read by the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers, a 32-voice
professional chorus directed by Philip Brunelle.
One of the selected composers may receive a $3,500 commission to write a new
work. The reading sessions will take place February 17-19, 2011 in
Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.

Essentially Choral affirms the commitment of
VocalEssence and the American Composers Forum to the work of today’s composers
and the performance of their music. The program is generously supported by a
grant from the Jerome Foundation.

Deadline

Postmarked on or before Friday, October 22, 2010.
