Event on October 24th, 2026 at UWM, featuring concerts, presentations, and workshops. Submission deadline August 30th.




Unison Chamber Music Collective is now accepting applications for our 2026–2027 Emerging Composers Commissioning Program.


We will select up to five composers to create new chamber works inspired by the theme Metamorphosis. Selected composers will receive an $800 commissioning fee, mentorship and workshops with professional musicians, a public performance, and a professional recording of their work.


At Unison, we believe new music belongs everywhere. Through our commissioning program, new works are premiered in shelters, recovery centers, and correctional facilities as part of our mission to reimagine where classical music is presented and who it is for.


Composers of any age are encouraged to apply. Black, Latinx, and gender-diverse composers are especially encouraged to submit.




The Manhattan Choral Ensemble is seeking composers for a short work related to New York City. Criteria, requirements, and compensation are detailed. Composers must submit proposals meeting specific guidelines for a chance to win a commissioning fee and a performance opportunity.
