The SYN(es)THESIS Project is hosting the Third International Composition Competition. Musicians and composers have the opportunity to participate in two categories: writing a musical composition inspired by a painting or creating music for a scene in the genre of shadow theatre. Compositions must be 3-8 minutes in length and can be written for various voices and instruments. Vocal parts with text can be in English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, or Bulgarian. There is no registration fee and the competition is open to participants of any nationality and age. Selected works will be performed at the Gala Concert, and cash prizes will be awarded to the winners.
