orkest de ereprijs YCM Competition

Aaron Gervais — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:38:11 +0000

I’m pleased and excited to announce that I was declared the winner of this year’s annual Young Composers Meeting in the Netherlands, hosted by renowned Dutch ensemble, orkest de ereprijs. The jurors chose between 16 pieces that the invited composers wrote for the ensemble. My piece, Love in the Time of Connectivity, was a collage of approximately a dozen other pieces, with sources ranging from Claude Debussy to Pizzicato Five. I’ll be writing another piece for the ensemble, to be performed in 2010.
