The New-Music Consortium at the University of South Florida, the School of Music’s student-run contemporary music organization, is pleased to announce its 2nd Biennial New-Music Consortium International Call for Scores.

Two works will be selected, with one each in the categories of acoustic and electronic composition. Selected compositions will be presented at the NMC’s Spring New-Music Concert, which will take place at 7:30pm on April 10, 2015.

Selected composers will be expected to provide professional performance materials by March 14, 2015. Although a stipend for travel and lodging cannot be provided, the winning composers are encouraged (but not required) to attend the performance. If the composers choose to attend the concert, the NMC will assist with travel arrangements to and from the airport in Tampa. There are several reasonably priced hotels near campus and the NMC can offer any documentation that might assist those seeking funding from institutions or outside sources.

Composers of all nationalities are encouraged to apply. There is no entry fee, no age limit, and works may have been previously performed (detailed guidelines below). Composers who have graduated from the University of South Florida after the year 2009 are not eligible to apply.

A panel consisting of members of the New-Music Consortium will evaluate the pieces and choose the winning entries. USF Composition Professor Dr. Baljinder Sekhon will facilitate the competition.

All applications must be completed and received by February 8, 2015. The winning entries will be announced by March 1, 2015.
