Their annual call for scores repeatedly receives more than 500 submissions, and over the past ten years has resulted in twenty-five commissions. Riot enjoys close working relationships with some of the most important composers of our time, including Liza Lim, Clara Iannotta, Chaya Czernowin, Ann Cleare, and Georg Friedrich Haas whose evening length piece Solstices was commissioned by Riot.
