About

Mrs. Louise Zemlinsky endowed the Alexander Zemlinsky Prize for Composition at the University of Cincinnati in 1990 to promote the music of young composers from around the world.  

The Alexander Zemlinsky Prize for Composition serves three purposes:

• To perpetuate the memory of Alexander Zemlinsky.
• To discover new works that are truly original and have the power to communicate with and engage a broad audience.
• To promote and encourage young composers from around the world.
