Willinger Duo: Call For Scores 2020

duo.jpg


  • Brothers Elisha Willinger (clarinet) and Lior Willinger (piano) strive to reimagine the clarinet and piano ensemble’s possibilities. 

  • Selected composers will have the opportunity to write us a clarinet and piano piece. Winners will have their piece professionally recorded and they will receive multiple performances of their work. 

  • The Willinger Duo is committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity. The Duo seeks to contribute to the canon of clarinet and piano repertoire by ALAANA (African/Black, Latinx, Asian/South Asian, Arab/Middle Eastern, and Native American), women, and gender non-conforming composers and highly encourages submissions from those communities.

Announcement of the Results

Lior and I are thrilled to announce eight winners of the Willinger Duo’s 2020 Call for Scores project. We received over 130 submissions from across the world which made the judging process incredibly arduous and grueling! We greatly thank everyone who submitted and we feel fortunate to learn about so many outstanding composers. The winners will have the opportunity to write a new work for us to be premiered and professionally recorded. We would like to especially thank our amazing colleague and friend, composer Ari Sussman, for helping us judge submissions. We look forward to expanding the clarinet and piano repertoire with the contributions of these talented composers.
