Hugh Davidson Composer Readings

Each season, the VS puts out a call for composers to submit new work to the symphony. Dedicated to the late Hugh Davidson, a strong supporter of new music, this program provides the opportunity for composers writing music for orchestra to have their pieces rehearsed by the VS, receive feedback, and an archival recording of their work.

Applications for the 2027 Hugh Davidson Composer Readings are now open! Score submission deadline is Sunday, October 4, 2026.
