National Sawdust (NS), with generous support from the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation, is offering a $7,000 prize to two emerging female composers through its inaugural Hildegard Competition. In addition to the cash prize, winners will receive coaching from two critically acclaimed composers: NS Artistic Director Paola Prestini and NS Curator Angélica Negrón. Following this coaching, the works will be performed live and recorded in National Sawdust’s state of the art venue by Lidiya Yankovskya and the Refugee Orchestra at a public performance in Summer 2018.
