WINNERS

Oswald Huỳnh 

"The jury was particularly impressed with the winner's piece Yellow Pearl, in which lyricism comes from a combination of timbre and harmony, oftentimes escaping standards of orchestration, while delivering the effective perceptual narrative that adds another layer of significance to this work. In their second piece, the jury appreciated the unique combination of multiphonics and the integrity of extended techniques into chosen timbral spectrums of bass clarinet, convincingly representing the idea of each movement."

 

With honourable mentions to...

 

Sofia Ouyang

 

"In their string quartet Insects, the composer approached a seemingly common idea with astonishing particularity clearly derived from deeply personal experience. To achieve such uniqueness of musical language the composer employed rather familiar performance techniques combined with clear use of textures, avoiding excessive complexity and over-challenging the performers, which makes this work even more admirable. The jury was intrigued by the second piece and wished to have an opportunity to hear it in sound representation."

Demian Rudel Rey

 

"The jury acknowledged the highest level of ambition and immeasurable dedication the composer input into submitted works. ÉPITAPHES set particularly challenging tasks and demonstrated uttermost technical virtuosity of orchestration and compositional structure; whereas Cuélebredemonstrated composer's equally excellent level of craft writing for a smaller chamber ensemble."
