The Composers Conference (CC) and Avaloch Farm Music Institute (AFMI) announce a new collaboration beginning in Summer 2023.

In the end, we selected a cohort of composers we feel shows the broadest, most inclusive representation of new music being made today. Special thanks to our Guest Composers Ko and Dennehy for their thoughtful, carefully considered discussions throughout the entire process.

In the second round, applicants’ identities who moved forward were revealed. We then listened to all the work again, and read the answers to the short questions that were asked as part of our application process.

Over the course of six weeks, Guest Composers Tonia Ko and Donnacha Dennehy conducted a thorough, involved evaluation. The first round of our adjudication process was “blind,” where only your music was listened to.

And many, many thanks to all the amazing composers who applied. We are so grateful to have heard so much amazing music from over 400 applicants...such a joy all around! The Conference selection process is an intensive, intricate, rigorous assessment of all application materials.

The Conference is delighted to announce our 2022 Fromm Foundation Composer Fellows: Livia Bottignole, Christopher Chandler, Stephen de Filippo, Luke Haaksma, June Young Will Kim, Chelsea Komschlies, Sepehr Pirasteh, Katrina Toner, Andrew Tholl, & Sarah Wald! Congratulations!
