Congratulations to Graduate Composer Thomas Beverly for receiving Second Prize in the 2015 SEAMUS/ASCAP Student Composer Competition. Also congratulations to Graduate Composer Jason Charney for being a finalist.
Additionally, students Josh Simmons and Brian Sears as well as faculty members Elainie Lillios, Mikel Kuehn and Andrew Smith had their pieces performed.
The orchestra will be conducted by Michael Lewanski with guest composer Steven Stucky on hand to work with our composition students.The program is as follows–
The event is open to students, faculty and staff of the College of Musical Arts and invited guests. If you are aware of members of the public who would like to attend, please have them email faculty liaison Christopher Dietz (cjdietz@bgsu.edu) to be included on the guest list.This is a very unique opportunity for BGSU composers. While there are some very competitive national and international competitions for readings with professional orchestras, few academic institutions can offer this kind of professional experience to their students, exclusively.
If available for some or all of the reading session, please consider attending.
Thank you,
Christopher Dietz
