The Esoterics announces 2008-2009 POLYPHONOS Competition The Esoterics announces an international call for a cappella choral scores - its annual competition for choral composition, POLYPHONOS, from the Greek πολυφωνος, having many voices or manifold in expression. The purpose of The Esoterics' POLYPHONOS is to encourage today's choral composers to broaden the scope of the a cappella choral repertory by setting sacred and poetical texts found beyond the Western classical canon in order to create a repertoire of choral concert music that reflects the universal beauty and power of unaccompanied voices joined in song. There will be up to three POLYPHONOS awards, and each winning composer will receive a commission from The Esoterics to plan and compose a new choral work that will be premiered by the ensemble in 2009. In addition to this commission, each of the winning composers will receive $1000 US plus airfare and accommodations to attend the Seattle premiere of their commissioned work.
Entry form, portfolio requirements and complete rules can be found at
www.theesoterics.org/polyphonos All applications must be complete and received by 15 May 2008 The winners of The Esoterics' POLYPHONOS will be announced on 1 July 2008 For questions, please contact polyphonos@TheEsoterics.org PS - In our April concert QUINDECIMA, the Esoterics will premier the POLYPHONOS commissions of the 2007-2008 winners - Nathan J.
