Young Composers Competition

Six Degree singers announces the seventh annual young composers competition!

We invite choral composers aged 18-40 to apply for a chance to win a $250 commission from Six Degree Singers.

The winning selection will be performed as part of Six Degree Singers’ Winter 2019 concert series, Choral Inspirations, a program that draws from the choral music that inspired our members in their formative years and encouraged them to continue singing today. The text of the submitted composition should be secular and appropriately themed to be performed as part of that concert program.

See official rules of entry here. Questions? Contact us at compositions@singsix.com.

Would you like your compositions to be considered for a runner-up position? (No monetary compensation is awarded, but your composition is selected to be performed in the spring concerts.) *

I WOULD like my compositions to be considered for a runner-up position.

I WOULD NOT like my compositions to be considered for a runner-up position.

I have removed my name from all submitted scores, audio files, and program notes and replaced it with the last 4 digits of my phone number.

I verify that this work has never been performed publicly before and that if my work is selected, Six Degree Singers would be able to present my work as a world premiere in their upcoming concert series.
