The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America announces its Franco Composition Contest winners. The competition committee received 59 submissions to its second proposal-based composition contest, nearly double the number of entries to the 2023 inaugural contest. Each entry comprised examples of composers’ prior works for any instrumentation, a statement of compositional experience, and a written proposal for a new carillon work. The jury evaluated the submissions and selected two proposals to receive prizes. The winning composers, Andy Li and Eli-Eri Mourawill, will compose their pieces in the months ahead.
Andy Li is an Arizona-born Chinese American composer for theatre, opera, and media based in New York City. Eli-Eri Moura is a Brazilian composer who writes concert music and scores for theatre and films.
