Your sound. Your story. Your city.
Submit your original composition of up to two minutes via the form below, responding to the 2026 theme Sense of Place.
You might consider:
- What does home sound like to you?
- How does where you live shape who you are?
- What memories, landscapes or communities live inside your music?
Submissions may be notated scores, MIDI files or graphic scores, written for standard orchestral instruments. Smaller ensembles are encouraged.
What Happens Next
Submissions will be reviewed throughout the year by the MSO’s Artistic and Learning & Engagement teams.
Selected works may be:
- Recorded by MSO musicians
- Shared across MSO digital and social platforms
- In rare cases, workshopped or performed live
Selected composers will receive a recording of their work as part of the project.
