The 21st Century Piano Commission is an endowed award. Jana Mason and her husband, Richard Anderson, contributed funding for this award to honor our talented new composers and performers at the UI School of Music and promote their musical ideas in a concert. Proposals are to be made jointly by a graduate student composer and performer.
Both Caleb and Ana will receive a $1,000 award and a concert in the spring to present the commissioned piece. The Twenty-Third Annual 21st Century Piano Commission concert will take place on February 8, 2025, at 7:30 PM, at Foellinger Great Hall, KCPA. The Judges for this edition of the competition were Prof. Chi-Chen Wu and Prof. Armando Bayolo.
