I received the following email from Steve Goldman, who as many of us geeks know, was CEO and founder of DPT in Maitland, helped create several computer interface standards for ANSI including SCSI, and is a huge patron of music and arts in and around Central Florida:

Friends:

We NEED your help to get the word out to all young musicians in the central Florida area who could benefit from the FREE Young Composers Workshop being held at the UCF Center for Emerging Media on Saturday, March 13th. This is a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young musicians between the ages of 13 to 18 interested in learning how to write music for orchestral instruments.

This year, the Young Composers Challenge is now open to young musicians nation-wide.  Workshop seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis. We want to give our Central Florida young musicians an opportunity to register first, so please forward this email to everyone you know who may have a connection to a young musician between the ages of 13 and 18.
