| YOUNG COMPOSERS CONCERT!
Since 1987, the VOICES Music Composition Contest for Children has provided nearly 400 young composers with the impetus to write music. The composition program also provides song-writing workshops led by Lyn Ransom and other VOICES members for local children, and opportunities for classroom and piano teachers to make music theory concrete and to stimulate creative thinking. All children ages 5 through 12 who enjoy music are encouraged to attend and participate. For information and an entry form, click here!
All entries were reviewed by an established composer and several were chosen to be performed by the children themselves, or by members of the VOICES Chorale. In addition, members of the VOICES Chorale will perform some selected pieces sure to delight the children, their parents and their friends.
Come and hear some of the world's newest talent!
