Interested members should send the following to Powell: a small photograph of the composer, preferably a head shot no more than 4 inches square; a brief bio.; a list of compositions; contact information. The preferred means of submitting information is via e-mail to: trpowell@students.wisc.edu. Photos may be sent to Tom Powell, 130 E. Gilman St., Madison, WI, 53703. Members may also send information on floppy disk to the above address, Microsoft Word for the Macintosh preferred, though other word processors and IBM format are acceptable also. For those who are also scanner literate, you may also scan your photo and forward it to Powell as a "TIFF" file.

WAC concert held in La Crosse

WAC sponsored a "Concert of New Music for Chorus, Brass, Organ, and more" last April 13, 1996, at the English Lutheran Church in La Crosse. The concert was organized by Chris Frye and featured the two winning works in the La Crosse Chamber Chorale composition competition: What's the Fuss?, by Ivar Lunde and Three Fragmented Farces by Gary Walth. Other composers whose works were performed include Al Benner, David Bohn, James Chaudoir, Ryan Conners, Michael Cunningham, and David Kraehenbuehl. Despite a number of competing events, the concert was attended by an enthusiastic audience. Composers and performers also attended a post-concert reception at Chez Frye.
