Preference given to composers under 21 years of age, with particular preference for those still in high school. Several finalists will be selected by Walden faculty panelists, and the Boston Philharmonic will select the winning composer to participate in the project. Composers will need to be present in Boston for the reading/rehearsal/recording (March 21, 2015, from 2:30-7:30pm), and will need to be available for advance consultation with Maestro Blachly in advance of the project.
