About the Competition
Established in honor of RSMI's 30th Anniversary, the Bridges Composition Competition ventures to "bridge" the genres of two of RSMI's main programs—jazz and classical chamber music—through a call to young composers across the globe for new works written for string quartet and jazz trio.
Up to three winners are selected annually to receive the David Baker Prize, $2,500, the opportunity to workshop their compositions with RSMI's Jazz Directorate, and their piece premiered in Ravinia's Bennett Gordon Hall.
