Additionally, Fourth Coast Ensemble will award a $1,000 commission prize to one composer for a new work to be premiered in 2026.
The competition is emcee'd by Chicago composer Stacy Garrop at the beautiful KOVAL Distillery Tasting Room in Chicago's Ravenswood corridor. Fourth Coast Ensemble will perform several of Ms. Garrop’s works to close the night as votes are tabulated.
