McLoskey also recently received a Barlow Commission for a concerto for brass quintet and wind ensemble, which will soon be performed by Triton Brass and a consortium of wind ensembles (including Boston Conservatory, MIT, and the Frost School of Music). His song cycle "Sudden Music" was the winner of the 2010 American Composers Forum/LA Composers Competition, and will be performed in Los Angeles in December. It was also performed by Utah Lyric Opera and was the title piece for the 2010 Sudden Music Festival, a contemporary music festival in New York.
