 Are you an aspiring composer? Think about composing a solo piece for acoustic accordion in the style of your choice! The American Accordionists' Association (AAA) is once again sponsoring the Elsie M. Bennett Composition Competition. The AAA under the guidance Elsie M. Bennett funded and commissioned more than 50 works in a body of noteworthy literature. She also served as president of the AAA from 1973 to 1974. The general purpose of this competition is to add to the solo concert repertoire of the acoustic accordion. There is the only directive for the style or form of the composition. Competition Information and entry form download at: 2016Bennett.pdf The closing date for entries is June 1st. A panel of prominent accordionists and composers will be assembled by the AAA to judge all submissions. There will be first, second and third place awards presented when entries merit them. The winning compositions will receive a cash prize and be featured at this summer's exciting AAA Festival, ‘Buffalo Squeeze Fest’, in Buffalo, NY, July 6th to 10th. |
