Fifth House Ensemble (5HE) is a mixed chamber group (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello, double bass, drum set, and piano) that has announced its 2011 annual young composer competition. Young composers are invited to arrange a cover of a rock song of 4-11 minutes long that must include at least 4 instruments from the 5HE roster.
