VOCES8 Composition Competition 2023

We have a winner!

We are thrilled to announce that the winner of the 2023 VOCES8 Composition Competition is Luke Mayernik for his piece The Lamb. The judges were captivated by Luke’s tender and subtle setting of William Blake’s famous poem. We’ll be starting to rehearse and record it soon and can’t wait to share it with the world in concert, online and in print.

The judges had the pleasure of considering 8 thoughtful, creative and diverse pieces. Congratulations to the other shortlisted composers:

Ian G Coleman

Anuj Bhutani

Nicholas Ryan Kelly

Joel Clarkson

David Von Kampen
