The EcoVoice Project is excited to announce its second annual call for scores. The “Birds in Plight” call for scores encourages composers to submit new choral works about or inspired by birds. While compositions do not need to be specifically about endangered species, pieces that address bird populations in decline will receive special consideration.

Five finalists will be chosen for the “Birds in Plight” performance in October 2026. The performance will feature professional singers from The EcoVoice Project, conducted by Kirsten Hedegaard. Additional performances will also be planned at other universities throughout North America. In addition to these live performances, composers will also receive professional recordings of their works.
