 Midwest Composers Symposium

The 2011-12 Midwest Composers Symposium will take place at the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana Univeristy, from November 11-12, 2011.

CALL FOR SCORES: CHAMBER WORKS

Indiana University, Jacobs School will host the 2011-12 Midwest Composers Symposium, November 11-12, 2011.

All currently enrolled IU composers are invited to submit no more than 2 scores (written during residency at IU) for performance consideration at the Symposium. Selected composers are responsible to provide IU players to perform their works.

In order to involve as many IU composers as possible, pieces with shorter durations will be favored; works for 4-6 instruments are particularly appropriate. And since we host the event, I would like to encourage you to submit works for larger force. Indicate on your score the duration of the piece; if it is a multi-movement work, also indicate if any movements can be performed separately.
The deadline is September 15, 2011 – Noon.

Selected composers will need to submit the following materials no later than the 3rd. of October.

a) Composer Information: composer’s name exactly as it is to appear in the program, year of birth, and E-mail address.
b) Composition information: title of composition (with movements, etc., as they should appear in the program), year completed, and duration. Indicate if this performance will be a premiere.
c) Program notes and bio should be attached on a separate sheet. Please limit each to 250 words.
d) Name of performers

All submissions that do not meet the deadline will not receive special considerations.
Please submit scores to P. Q. Phan in the School of Music Mail Room by Noon of the deadline (September 15, 2011).
