Original Composition Festival 2014

The Original Composition Festival was held at the King of Glory Lutheran Church in Tempe on November 22nd and 23rd. Special thanks to Debbie Engelsman for the many hours of work that went into organizing this great event.  Students composed their own pieces, made a recording and received a detailed, full-page evaluation from Penni Scott, a local composer. If you have ever participated you will remember how invaluable, detailed and positive these evaluations are. The students and teachers leave feeling they created something monumental. Students also receive a trophy and perform their pieces at one of three recitals.

The performances were projected on a big screen behind the piano.
