BCM International is a consortium of four composers who strive to create high-quality literature for all concert and educational mediums. While diverse in background and stylistic approach, we share a desire to enrich the repertoire with music unbound by traditional thought or idiomatic cliché.

Hey everybody,

First contact since the end of the Midwest Clinic: Jonathan's "Moon By Night" won the National Band Association/ Merrill Jones Young Band Composition Contest! Eric conducted a moving performance of "Sleep" with the Vandercook College Band. And the BIG news is that we're all headed to the 2005 Eric Whitacre/ BCM Concert Band Festival at the Opera House in Sydney, Australia! All in all, a great week -- we were glad for the opportunity to meet a lot of great directors and musicians, and get re-acquainted with old friends.

Cheers!
