Melodia performs classical and contemporary works, and incorporates new works by living composers in our programs.
Melodia commissions women composers through our Women Composers Commission Competition and seeks out new works by all composers through our General Score Submission program.
Prior Commissioned Composers
Women Composer’s Commissioning Competition
Melodia is delighted to announce the winners of the 2022 composer’s commissioning competition. Two composers were selected to received commissions to create new works for Melodia during the 20th Anniversary Season. Dr. Zanaida Noelle Stewart Robles’ work, From the Stone Age was premiered in November 2023 and Emily Mason’s commission, Your Children, received its premiere in May 2024.
