AME Announces the Winner of its Fourth Annual Composition Competition


For our Fourth Annual Composition Competition, AME is delighted to have received over one-hundred submissions from all over North and South America. The winner of this year's competition is Spencer Topel for his work Preludes for Violin and Cello. As the winner, he will receive an honorarium of $500, a performance on an upcoming AME concert during the 2009-10 season and a recording of the performance.


We will announce guidelines for our Fifth Annual Composition Competition on or before September 1, 2009.


A warm thank you to all of the composers who took time to submit works. We look forward to experiencing your music again in the future.
