2009 ClefWorks Composition Competition
The 2008 winner was Scott Robbins of Spartanburg, SC, whose "Quartet for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano" (1999/2008) was performed during the final ClefWorks' Dream On concert in January of 2009. The work demonstrates a compelling harmonic language and engaging musical narrative with striking and expressive use of the string instruments. Robbins' adjudicators were the members of the internationally famous Penderecki String Quartet, who chose his composition from among more than 120 entries by accomplished composers from all over the world.
Scott Robbins (Associate Dean, Professor of Composition and Musicology, Petrie School of Music at Converse College) began his musical training as a drummer and guitarist in rock bands. Robbins' compositions are widely performed and professionally recognized, having received over 50 awards.
