Abstract
"The Missouri Contemporary Music Competition is sponsored jointly by the Music Department of the University of Missouri-Columbia, the Missouri Public Radio Association, Discwasher Inc. of Columbia, Missouri, and the Missouri Arts Council. The 1978-79 competition for chamber music was made possible with grants from the University of Missouri-Columbia Graduate Student Association and the Subcommittee on University Lectures. Aaron Copland, T. Scott Huston of the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati, and Hanley Jackson of Kansas State University judged the 81 entries from 20 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. The national winner and recipient of the $1,000 Discwasher Prize is Karl Korte of Austin, Texas. The two Missouri winners are Christopher Hills and Erik Stenberg. The Missouri winners receive awards of $300 and $125 from the Missouri Public Radio Association. Performances of the winning compositions during the Chancellor's Third Annual Festival of Music will be recorded by KBIA-FM for airing on the 16 stations of the Missouri Public Radio Association: KBFL, Buffalo; KCUR, Kansas City; KUMR, Rolla; KCMW, Warrensburg; KLUM, Jefferson City; WSIU, Carbondale, Illinois; KCLC, St. Charles; KANU, Lawrence, Kansas; KBIA, Columbia; KXCV, Maryville; KSOZ, Point Lookout; KWMU, St. Louis; KWPB, Liberty; KSMU, Springfield; KCFV, St. Louis; and WSUI, Iowa City, Iowa. Plans for the 1979-80 Missouri Contemporary Music Competition are to continue the competition for instrumental chamber music while expanding to include a "Music and Technology Symposium and Competition" exploring the relationship between music and laser technology, video art and synthesis and other forms of music/electronic art incorporation.
