Inga holds a BM in Composition and Performance from Berklee College of Music and an MFA in Theory and Composition from Brandeis University.
We want to thank all of the outstanding composers who submitted to this competition. Tallā Rouge and Vox Novus were inspired by the exceptionally talented pool of applicants from around the globe. Their creativity and craftsmanship have captured the attention of our distinguished panel of judges.
Our inspiration grew into creating another opportunity for the composers who were semi-finalists and a way to cntinue to strengthen the new music and viola community. We are creating another competition; this one for violists. It is a viola duo performance challenge! See details below.

Call for Scores
Deadline: December 15th, 2024
Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: David Bohn, organ to be premiered at Ozaukee Congregational Church (rural Ozaukee County, Wisconsin) as part of the 2025 National Convention of the Organ Historical Society, August 3-8, 2025.
Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo flute. Selected works will be premiered on Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with flutist Lisa Bost-Sandberg in 2025 with an online performance.
Bost-Sandberg performs on a Kingma System® flute. This revolutionary instrument can be played as a traditional C flute, but it also includes extra keys, expanding the sonic capabilities. It allows for a more facile and even quartertone scale, a considerably increased multiphonic vocabulary, and extensive options for alternate fingerings. Composers are welcome to embrace these possibilities in their submissions if desired; traditional writing for the flute is also possible and encouraged.
