Area 12 is happy to announce that the winner of our 2024 Composition Contest is “Retrofuture” by Ron Mallory. This winning composition will be published and be included in the repertoire list for the 2024 Area 12 Youth Conference, Bellz: The Next Generation, September 27-28 at Concordia University Irvine, CA. Congratulations to Ron!
We had a total of 13 submissions from 12 composers – all excellent submissions. As chair of the committee, I was very excited to see so many pieces submitted for our consideration. I truly encourage all of these composers to keep writing, and get their pieces to publishers – I want to play those pieces!
