JOHN EATON MEMORIAL COMPETITION
Each year, the New York Composers Circle sponsors the John Eaton Memorial Competition. In 2015, the name was changed to honor our late Honorary Member John Eaton. The competition is open to composers of all ages who live in the New York metropolitan area (New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut), with the exception of current NYCC members and prior NYCC contest winners. The winning composition is performed at one of the NYCC’s concerts during the following season, and the winner also receives one year’s free membership in the Composers Circle.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the New York Composers Circle is temporarily suspending the competition until such a time that we may safely resume the process of presenting public concerts. Winners of the previous two year’s competition, Ecstacy for clarinet, violin, cello, piano by Cheng Jin Koh, and Picking Up Where I Left Off for violin and piano by composer Jeffrey Niederhoffer will be performed on a concert in the coming season.
