Left Coast Chamber Ensemble 2012 COMPOSITION CONTEST (Deadline: April 20, 2012)

About Left Coast Chamber Ensemble: Founded in 1992, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble communicates with audiences through inspiring performances of new and old chamber music. By embracing both musics, we enrich the audience’s experience — we reawaken a feeling of immediacy in performances of familiar masterpieces and we reveal the powerful expressive intentions in the music of our time. The ensemble’s twelve musicians, many of whom have played together since the 1980s, perform in different combinations, using strings, winds, guitar and piano to present a wide range of repertoire.
Left Coast Commissions: Left Coast Chamber Ensemble has commissioned and premiered more than 55 new works since 1992; in addition, we frequently present West Coast premieres of recently composed music. Grants to our group from charitable organizations, including the Clarence E. Heller Foundation, Barlow Fund, Zellerbach Foundation, Argosy Fund for New Music, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and Meet the Composer USA, have funded some of the commissions; we have collaborated with composers to obtain grants from foundations like Fromm and Koussevitsky to support others.
Left Coast Supporters: LCCE is supported by the Chamber Music Partnership, a 501(c)(3) corporation formed in 1995. Major funding is provided by San Francisco Grants for the Arts.
