loadbang's 2021 Commission Competition is now open! Details and FREE application can be found here.
13 years ago at the Manhattan School of Music, Will and Andy (loadbang's trombonist and trumpeter) started 'Will and Andy's Power Concerts.' Like a power nap, they were 20 minutes and were essentially a salon series for our community and fellow students to try new things. loadbang's Power Chats take the condensed format of the Power Concerts to live interviews with some of our favorite composers! We've been fortunate thus far to have spoken to Mark Applebaum, Eve Beglarian, Chaya Czernowin, George Lewis, Lei Liang, Paula Matthusen and Angélica Negrón. They appear on YouTube Live and then have a permanent home at loadbang's YouTube page. Enjoy!
We're so pleased to announce that the winners of the 2020 Commission Competition are:
First Prize: Max Vinetz Runner Up: Yotam Haber Honorable Mentions: Darcy Copeland and Udi Perlman
