The Graphic Score Competition

For the past 2 years, in collaboration with “Music in Motion,” Victor Gischler has run a graphic score competition at the University level. The competition encourages the creation, performance, and appreciation of graphic scores amongst emerging composers. While the competition was originally just for LSU students, it is slowly expanding to include a select group of universities.
