MTNA is dedicated to encouraging the creation of new works by American composers and annually assists its affiliated state associations in the generation and performance of new music through the national composers commissioning program. The TMTA commissioned work premiere performance is at the TMTA annual convention. To further promote and recognize outstanding contributions to American music, MTNA annually has its state affiliates submit their commissioned works to a panel of recognized composers for selection of the MTNA-Shepherd Distinguished Composer of the Year. The new work of the selected composer is presented in a performance at the next MTNA national conference, and the composer is proclaimed the MTNA-Shepherd Distinguished Composer of the Year. The selected composer also receives a check for $3,000, funded by Dr. Sylvia Shepherd, MTNA member from California.
