The contest focused on original works for brass septet written for college-level ensemble. Compositions were requested to be multi movement works, from 13-15 minutes in length.  All qualifying contest entries were played and evaluated by the workshop coaching staff. The coaching staff consists of professional brass musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. The winners’ works will be performed during the next Brass Chamber Music Workshop at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif. Amateur musicians will perform the music in a workshop format. All submitted contest compositions will become part of the workshop’s extensive brass chamber music library. “We have added some wonderful music to our library and I am anxious for all workshop participants to have an opportunity to play it,” said Clements. “I am especially excited by the level of international participation in the contest.  Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to all the fine composers who submitted works.”
