April 19, 2014. Chosen from over 150 entries from 23 countries and 25 US states, the winning composition in this year's contest is Felix Leuschner's work for tenor and cello Krieg ohne Schlacht. Left Coast will perform the piece in the 2014-15 season. Left Coast will perform the work as part of our 22nd season. The runner up is Gordon Williamson for his work Vier Stückchen.

A huge thank you to all the composers who participated in the 2014 Left Coast Composition Contest. We appreciate the hard work that went in to the works and we were very impressed by the quality and diversity of the music submitted to us.
