An opportunity for emerging composers to develop their works with a professional orchestra, EarShot participants for the Columbus Symphony Readings were chosen from a national candidate pool received from composers nationwide. Over the course of the three days of the program, the composers works will be workshopped and rehearsed, and the composers will receive critical insights and feedback from CSO Musicians, Maestro Milanov, and mentor composers Robert Beaser, (ACO Artistic Director Laureate), Margaret Brouwer, Donald Harris, and Clint Needham. The CSO will perform the chosen composers’ compositions and ask the audience to vote for their favorite before a professional jury selects an official winner.
