UMass Lowell CMENC Composition Festival deadline near!

The University of Massachusetts Lowell Collegiate Chapter of the Music Educators National Conference is proud to announce our Ninth Annual K-12 Composition Festival. We are inviting you to send in audio recordings of your students’ compositions. Submissions from students in grades K-12 are once again eligible and encouraged.

Please send each composition on a separate CD recording. We ask that you limit composition lengths to ten minutes to allow us to include as many pieces as possible. Please also send four copies of the score on standard letter-size paper with the CD. Compositions will not be considered without scores. Four copies of the attached form should be included with each submission for each of our four adjudicators. Only one composition may be submitted per student. The Youth Composition Festival will be held in May of 2009 in UMass Lowell’s Fisher Recital Hall.


Send CDs, Scores, and Application Forms by February 1st, 2009 to:

UMass Lowell Dept. of Music
Dr. Gena Greher, Composition Festival
35 Wilder Street; Suite 3
Lowell, MA 01854
