Essentially Choral Reading Session
May 29 - 31, 2008
Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis

Up to five composers will be selected to have their works-in-progress read by the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers, a 32-voice professional chorus directed by Philip Brunelle, and professional orchestra musicians. New York composer Daniel Godfrey will serve as composer-mentor for this year's reading session. One of the selected composers may receive a $3,500 commission to write a new work. The reading sessions will take place May 29-31, 2008 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Essentially Choral affirms the commitment of VocalEssence and the American Composers Forum to the work of today's composers and the performance of their music. The program is generously supported by a grant from the Jerome Foundation.
