Young Composers Guild

2006 Convention, Chang, Lee, Wellwood playing 8-bit Trio by Jeffrey Moore.

The Young Composers Guild (YCG) is the highest achievement that a Composers Today composition student can attain. An accepted student is granted membership in the Guild for five years upon recommendation by a panel of composition evaluators. During this five-year tenure, the YCG member may be offered semi-professional paid performance opportunities through MTAC branch-sponsored concerts and semi-professional publishing opportunities through the Composers Today program. Each year, a special YCG Presentation Concert is held at the MTAC State Convention. This concert serves as a debut for newly selected members and as a venue for current and recent past members to present new works (after being selected through a competitive application process). In some cases, the Guild also provides awards, scholarships, and other financial support for its current and recent past members. The Young Composers Guild was established in 1996–1997 by Sue Shannon to honor MTAC’s most gifted young composers. The deadline for application is January 15th of each year. Please see the YCG Eligibility Requirements document available on your Teacher Home Page after you login to www.mtac.org.

The Young Composers Guild offers three levels of participation:

  • New Student Membership
  • Current Membership Composition Award
  • Young Alumni (Recent College Graduate) Composition Award
