The University of Louisville announces the 2024 Frank Robert Abell Young Composers Competition for New Chamber Music. With a First Prize of $10000 USD and Second Prize of $6000 USD.
This Award was established by a generous bequest from the estate of Frank Robert Abell, a longtime Louisville philanthropist with close ties to the University of Louisville School of Music. He had a deep love for contemporary music and a strong desire to help younger composers.
Eligibility: Composers residing in any country, age 18-26 on the deadline for submission, January 5, 2024.
