We were thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response for the 2023-2024 Underscore. Bent Frequency received over 500 applications of creative compositions from all over the world, representing an impressive array of styles. The review of applications was a rigorous and thorough one undertaken by Bent Frequency and our three guest composers, Kevin Day, Marti Epstein, and Amy Williams. It is indeed inspiring to be reminded of the wealth of musical creativity and diversity, reflected in the submissions received for this call.  

These winning works will be presented in concert at Kopleff Recital Hall in Atlanta on Sunday, March 3, 2024.  The winning composers will be provided with a travel stipend to assist with expenses to attend the concert.  

More information about the composers can be found here: Winners!

Bent Frequency would also like to express our sincerest gratitude to our guest judges:

Kevin Day (https://www.kevindaymusic.com/)

Marti Epstein (https://martiepstein.com/)

Amy Williams (http://amywilliamsmusic.com/)

Underscore would not have been possible without their expertise, time, and thoughtfulness. 

We would also like to thank the Georgia Council for the Arts, the A&E Atlanta Grant Program, The City of Atlanta’s Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, The Fulton County Arts Council, and the Amphion Foundation. Without the generous support of these organizations we would not be able to present Underscore.
