Please join us Saturday, May 16, at 11:00am – 12:30pm the 2020 Virtual George Shirley Composers Competition. The competition will be live via our VidemusMusic Facebook page. We are excited to have 5 African American composers (Ethan Godrey, Jerrell Gray, Maya Johnson, Jarrett Roseborough, and Del’Shawn Taylor) presenting their work for this year’s competition cycle.

Each submitted piece will be reviewed by our panel of judges: Mark Lomax, Uzee Brown, Trevor Weston, and Regina Baiocchi. We look forward to the upcoming competition!

The GSVC focuses solely on vocal compositions written for the recital or operatic stage by composers of African-American descent. For more information on the composers competition visit the 2020 Composers Division page.
