The Sunbeam Project is an answer to the reality of the COVID-19 changes in the artistic community. Many composers were deprived of the chance to have their works be performed and recorded thanks to the quarantine and pandemic restrictions. In 2019 I was lucky to win the National Flute Association Young Artist Competition and today, thanks to the generous grant received from the competition, I wanted to share an opportunity this created with fellow composers and musicians from the great state of California.
​
The goal is to help three composers with a stipend, professional audio/video recordings and live performances of the selected pieces.
Three selected composers will:
Receive a $300 stipend each
Professional audio/video recording of their work
Have their work featured in an online streaming concert
Have their work featured in a live performance (TBD)
The pieces may be written (or re-arranged) for solo flute (doubling piccolo, alto flute, bass flute) with or without electronics or a combination (trio, duo) with the following instruments:
-
Piano
-
Cello
-
Percussion (with following instruments: drum set, cajon, xylophone, glockenspiel, congas, handpan)
Interested composers should submit by the deadline May 1st
Deadline extended: June 1st
