The winning composition will be premiered by the Seattle Symphony at the annual Celebrate Asia concert at Benaroya Hall. Celebrate Asia originated in 2009 through collaboration with local Asian leaders who were keen to strengthen bonds with the broader community through a cultural celebration, and was brought to life through partnerships with local community groups to honor and celebrate Seattle’s Asian community. • Works must have Asian influences (for example: Asian folk melodies, Asian stories and legends, Asian traditional instruments). • Works must be new, original and accessible. • Works should be 3 to 6 minutes in duration.
