2022 Competition Closed

We thank you for your interest in the competition. This year’s competition closed on December 31, 2022.

Please keep us in mind for our next competition, planned for 2024.

i Coristi Chamber Choir is proud to support the composition of new Canadian works for choir through this biennial competition.

All submissions will be anonymized before being reviewed by a panel consisting of: i Coristi’s Artistic Director, a member of the choir, and another choral conductor drawn from outside our organization. The panel will create a shortlist from the anonymized materials, and then review the additional materials (CV and, as needed, referees) prior to making a final selection.

Entrants who are shortlisted will be contacted via e-mail in early January 2023 and asked to submit their additional materials (CV and referees) by January 20, 2023. The successful applicant will be contacted by January 31, 2023; the results will be announced at i Coristi’s February 25, 2023 concert; and the resulting work will be performed at i Coristi’s November 2023 concert.
For their work, the composer will be offered a commission fee of up to CAD $3,000 per the Canadian League of Composer’s 2022 fee schedule (www.composition.org/commissioning-rates/). A recording of the premiere performance will also be made available to the successful applicant.

Check back in February 2023, when we announce the results of the 2022 Competition!
