It brings together the brightest new composers to introduce them and their works to today's audiences. Sponsored by the DeKalb Choral Guild, the GYCF provides these aspiring student composers a chance to work with an accomplished chorus,and it gives the public a chance to meet them and hear the latest music being produced in Georgia colleges. Through this event, the DeKalb Choral Guild hopes to recognize the great talent present in our state, and thereby encourage the continuation and expansion of the choral arts.
