CALLS FOR SCORES:
A Detailed Discussion of the Submission and Evaluation Process
Saturday, February 4 at 1:30 pm
Boston Public Library
Mezzanine Conference Room
700 Boylston St.
One of the most significant opportunities for emerging composers today is the ability to submit works to score submission competitions. Selected composers have the opportunity for major exposure and recognition within the new music community by receiving performances of the work, high-quality recordings, a monetary prize, or a commission of a new work. Along with insights from guest participants possessing substantial experience within both the score submission and evaluation process, composer and BNMI president Tim Davis will lead a roundtable discussion of BNMI members to discuss the score submission system in detail in order to reveal the various philosophies and strategies of submitters and evaluators alike.
Seating is limited so if you plan to attend, please RSVP.
