The Vermont Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce our second annual MasterClef Competition for Vermont students in grades 6-12. The competition is in partnership with Vermont composer Dr. Matthew Evan Taylor, who will join the VSO in Burlington in October 2022 for the world premiere of his work from despair... Light! for chorus and orchestra. Students of all musical genres — from classical, pop and rock to indie, house and beyond — and any musical instrument or voice are invited to arrange, perform, compose, produce or improvise a new work based on a selected melody from Taylor’s piece. Finalists will join Taylor in Burlington on October 29 and 30 to workshop their music and attend the VSO concert featuring from despair... Light! at The Flynn. Cash prizes will be awarded to one grand prize winner and two runners-up. Learn more and apply at https://www.vso.org/community-collaboration/education/masterclef-2022/
