potential donors.
• The Prism Committee seeks faculty nominations for the very best of our student small ensembles,
solo performers to be featured alongside our large ensembles.
• For small ensembles and solo performers/composers, the selections should be something that will be
performance ready during the Fall semester preceding the annual Prism concert.
• A nomination does not guarantee a spot on the concert. The Committee will review all nominations
in consideration of overall performance quality and the variety of programming for the 75 minute
concert.
• Selections should be both impressive in musical nuance and performance skill and concise (approx.
3-4 minutes in length per performance). Large ensembles will be performing slightly longer works
or works in combination with other ensembles.
