Dear composers,
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for submitting your outstanding works to the mise-en music festival 2023. It was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to listen to all of your pieces, and we appreciate your patience during our judging process.
This year, we received a record-breaking number of 1681 submissions from composers all over the world. After much deliberation and careful consideration, we have selected a number of pieces that we believe best represent the festival’s vision and artistic direction. However, it is important to note that our resources are limited, and unfortunately, we were unable to include every exceptional work that we received. We recognize the hard work and dedication that you put into your compositions, and we are truly sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
Please be assured that the selection process was based solely on the quality of the music submitted. We did not have any preconceived agendas or biases towards any specific ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or nationality.
