The
Chicago
Ensemble has always been devoted to the discovery and encouragement of
young American composers. Our Discover America program receives
submissions from composers all over the country. Winning entries
are performed at special and regular season concerts of The
Chicago Ensemble. This program encourages young composers, giving them
much-needed opportunities to have their works performed, as
well
as bringing unfamiliar and sometimes challenging works to Chicago
chamber music audiences.
