2010 Barlow Prize Competition
$12,000 Commission
New Work for Piano Trio
The winning composer will receive a $12,000 commission from the Barlow Endowment to compose a major new work for piano trio. The winning composer’s work will be premiered in 2012 by a consortium of three piano trios: Triple Helix (Boston), Gryphon (Toronto), and Deseret (Provo).
The 12-20 minute work is expected to meet the highest artistic requirements for the medium. Additional specifications for the work will be negotiated among the Barlow Endowment, the composer, and the performing consortium.
There are no restrictions with regard to musical style, nationality, age, gender, race, religion, or political persuasion. The only limitations are: 1) composers who have won the Barlow Prize in the previous five years will not be considered; and 2) members of the Barlow Boards are not eligible.
