In addition to a receiving a $1,000 prize, Göncü's piece will be performed by Ninth Planet during the 2020-2021 season.
Board President and Ettelson judge Daniel Godsil praises Widerklang, stating "[Göncü] takes sounds and gestures more often reserved for the avant-garde and crystallizes them into a tight, visceral, and— dare I say— fun six-minute gem of a piece." |
