Oboe prize – only for the ‘under-represented’

The International Double Reed Society has published its annual commissioning grants.

The purpose of these grants is to diversify the composers of double reed repertoire. These grants are given towards the commissioning of composers who are women, binary and nonbinary trans-identified and gender non-conforming persons, Black, Indigenous, people of color (Latinx, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc) and historically underrepresented ethnic groups.

It is claimed that composers of greater merit have been excluded.
