The week-long Mizzou International Composers Festival selects Resident Composers through an online portfolio application process to participate in concerts, workshops, master classes, and other events at the Sinquefield Music Center and Missouri Theatre in Columbia, MO. Resident Composers receive composition lessons from two Distinguished Guest Composers, participate in rehearsals with world-class new music ensemble Alarm Will Sound, and receive a commission to create a new piece for the ensemble. The new compositions will be premiered during the festival’s grand finale concert conducted by artistic director Alan Pierson and will be professionally recorded for the composers and digital distribution platforms. Festival tuition and lodging are provided through the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation. Applications require three scores of original works with contrasting instrumentation (preferably including one large ensemble piece), recordings of the same pieces (live preferred, MIDI accepted), and a CV\/Resume (two-page maximum). Selected composers are responsible for flights and meals, while MNMI covers lodging and assists with ground transportation within Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
