Humboldt Brass Chamber Music Workshop Announces 2014 Composition Contest Prizewinners
CAMPBELL, CA - Tony Clements, Director of the Humboldt Brass Chamber Music Workshop, announced the 2014 Composition Contest winners on Monday, March 10, 2014.
Allen Molineux, of Dothan, Alabama, won the grand prize of US$2000 for his sextet “Seven Shorties.” Charlie Warren, of Anaheim, California, won the second prize of US$1000 for his “As You Wish.” The US$500 third place prize was awarded to David Lyon, of Sherborne, Dorset, UK, for “Wednesbury Suite.” Scott C. Lillard of Goleta, California received Honorable Mention recognition for “Dinner for Six.”
The contest focused on original 8-10 minute works for brass sextet. All qualifying entries were played and evaluated by the workshop coaching staff using a blind audition process. Amateur musicians will perform this year’s contest submissions in a workshop format during the July 2014 Brass Chamber Music Workshop at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif.
We have once again expanded our library with wonderful music, I am especially excited by the strong response of composers to our call to create new music for brass ensembles. Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to all the fine composers who submitted works.
The Humboldt Brass Chamber Music Workshop is held each summer in two one-week sessions. 2014 sessions are scheduled for July 20-July 26 and July 27-August 2. Activities include: daily chamber ensemble rehearsals coached by some of the West Coast’s finest brass musicians; daily performances by participants; brass choir reading sessions; abundant freelance playing time; special-interest sessions on brass-related topics; and spectacular California North Coast scenery.
