Today, The Azrieli Foundation opens applications to composers across Canada and the world for the 2022 Azrieli Music Prizes (AMP). In this fourth edition, AMP is calling for orchestral works that match the forces of its Performance Partner - L'Orchestre Métropolitain - including up to two soloists. The three Azrieli Music Prizes include The Azrieli Commission for Canadian Music, The Azrieli Commission for Jewish Music and The Azrieli Prize for Jewish Music. Altogether, the total package for each Azrieli Music Prize is valued at over $200,000 CAD, placing AMP among the most significant composition competitions in the world. The three 2022 AMP laureates will be announced by November 2021.
