BETA Quartet - Fanfare for Flute Quartet - Evgenios Anastasiadis
In June 2021, BETA Quartet launched a Call for Scores asking that composers from around the world submit a brief fanfare honoring our brothers and sisters who selflessly serve humanity and offer compassion on a daily basis in their workspaces. After receiving over 20 submissions from Canada, United Kingdom, Greece, Germany, Thailand, Italy, Peru, and the United States, we chose two winners.
Listen to our ensemble perform the virtual world premiere of "Fanfare for Flute Quartet" composed by the first prize winner of our ICU Call for Scores, Greek flutist and composer Evgenios Anastasiadis.

This is our way of praising ICU staff for their compassion and efforts. We hope these fanfares will lift the spirits of ICU workers everywhere. Share with them! This is a musical stance against injustice - against the violence toward ICU staff, doctors, and nurses.
We would also like to give a shout-out to our dear sponsor and friend Jon Cummings who supported this initiative and who had an active adjudicating role in deciding the winners of the competition.
