2017年美國紐約市冰山新音樂作曲比賽

成立於2016年，冰山新音樂是紐約市青年作曲家的集合地。該組織的使命是促進實質性的，而非表面的，音樂創作和音樂感知的核心力量。我們居住在一個非教條主義的時代，作曲家能夠也應該從以前大量的曲目創作中吸取前所未有的創新思想，包括流行歌曲、前衛技術，以及介於兩者間的所有事物。“冰山”當地作曲家召喚來自不同學派的作品，培養有本質區別的音樂，但是這些對比性音樂語言違背了意義深度和機構的共用重要性。當作曲家們為相同樂團創作曲目，在聯合音樂會演出中呈現自己的作品時，這正是21世紀廣泛藝術音樂各種可能性的最好一次見證。
“冰山”致力於“徹底廣泛的風格包容性”、精益求精的技巧，與觀眾間的對話，現代化的進行中的音樂會的經驗；大型音樂會中的每首曲目都可以被理解為公開酒吧中一段歡樂時光，可以由作曲家、表演者和聽眾的自由提問。
