Golden Hornet’s 5th Annual Young Composer Concert presents eighteen new works from Austin-area youth ranging between ages 8 and 18. Writing the new works under the guidance of professional mentors, each piece composed by the youth will be performed by local professional ensemble Tetractys, between brief on-stage interviews with the composers. Hosted by Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski, the concert is collectively produced by the youth under the guidance of Golden Hornet’s experienced staff.
