The Steans Institute’s Bridges Composition Competition invites emerging composers (ages 18–30) to bring fresh, creative perspectives to the intersection of jazz and classical chamber music. Each composition brings together string quartet and jazz combo, giving composers the exciting opportunity to build musical bridges between these two dynamic genres. Winners receive a $2,500 cash prize, the opportunity to workshop their piece with mentorship from pianist Billy Childs, bassist John Clayton, and saxophonist Steve Wilson, and the premiere of their work at the Ravinia Festival.
