Composition Competition

From North State Symphony Music Director Scott Seaton:

"In celebration of the anniversary of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the North State Symphony invites submissions of works that explore the resilience of the human spirit, represent a coming together of humankind, and should echo Beethoven’s ideals of unity during the composition of the 9th Symphony."

"This must be a world premiere, but existing works that are currently unperformed are acceptable."


More information about this competition is available here:
