The compositions, imbued with a modern sensibility and reverence for nature and the divine, were profound and serious.At the same time, the efficient musical progression, sense of balance, and contrasting diversity within a single piece always await greater challenges from the composers. We extend our gratitude to the composers for submitting their excellent works. -- Lee Young-Jo, President of the 2024 Busan Choral Composition Competition Judging panel --------------Thank you to all the new composers who submitted their works to the 10th Busan Choral Festival Composition Competition.This year, 43 works from 43 composers across 21 countries participated in the competition.
