2025 / 2026 Season Inclusive Repertoire Award

The Colorado Wind Ensemble is issuing a call for scores by underrepresented composers to be performed and recorded by the Colorado Wind Ensemble during the 2025-26 season. We desire to encourage and promote composers from historically marginalized communities to write music for the Wind Band at a developmental grade level of 1-3. Submitted scores will be reviewed by members of a selection committee, and the selected piece will be programmed and recorded during the 2025-26 season.
