Clint Needham, Andrew Norman, Alex Mincek, and Cynthia Wong have been named the winners of Orpheus Project 440, a commissioning program that played out in part in the public eye at wqxr.org/project440. Project 440 began in June with 60 nominated composers, and through a series of posted composer profiles, sound samples, and listener comments, the public got to know the artists and their work. A selection committee then narrowed down the group to these four winners. The program is a collaboration between Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and WQXR 105.9FM. The four new works will be premiered at Carnegie Hall by Orpheus in the 2011-12 season.
