For the 11th year, the Texas Flute Society is continuing with its commissioning project in conjunction with the Myrna W. Brown Competition. The composer selected for the 2023 composition is Laura Brackney. The piece will be required as part of the finals repertoire for the competition.

- Those who donate $75 or more by March 1st will have their name printed in the commissioned work’s score in addition to previous co-commission perks.
- The first 25 members who donate $150 or more by March 1st will receive a signed copy of the commissioned work (6 month exclusive performing rights) in addition to previous co-commission perks.
