Midwest Composers Symposium – University of Iowa School of Music

February 9-10, 2008

CALL FOR SCORES: CHAMBER WORKS

The 2007-08 Midwest Composers Symposium will take place at University of Iowa School of Music from February 9-10, 2008.

All IU composers (currently enrolled and planning to attend IU in the spring of 2008) 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, and to limit the total number of performers, pieces with small instrumentation and shorter durations (solo works, smaller chamber combinations, pieces for electronic tape plus performer, or for electronic tape alone, etc.) will be favored; works for 4-6 instruments are particularly appropriate. Indicate on your score the duration of the piece; if it is a multi-movement work; if any movements can be performed separately.

The deadline is Friday, November 16th , 2007.  Submissions that do not meet the deadline will not receive special consideration. Please submit scores to P. Q. Phan in the School of Music Mail Room by Noon, on Friday, November 16th, 2007.
