Bent Frequency is excited to present the six winning compositions chosen for the 2024-2025 Underscore. Having received over 300 applications from all over the world, representing an impressive array of compositional styles, we were absolutely thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response of this year’s call. The review of applications was a rigorous and thorough one undertaken by Bent Frequency and our three guest composers, The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker, Dorothy Hindman, and Paula Matthusen. It is indeed inspiring to be reminded of the wealth of musical creativity and diversity reflected in the submissions for this call.  

“This program is supported in part by the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the Amphion Foundation, the Ditson Foundation, the Copland Fund, and the Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly.
