ISCM World Music Days 2019, Call for Submissions
This call is meant for members of NMSA only. Those subscribers who are not members may submit but instructions will be sent in the next newsletter.
The International Society of Contemporary Music (ISCM) will be holding their World Music Days (WMD) festival between 2 to 10 May 2019 in Estonia. They are now requesting scores for us to consider for this prestigious event. All composer members are urged to apply at no cost as NewMusicSA are officially members of the South African Section of the ISCM. The festival will be centered in the city of Tallinn.
The SA section requires submissions from six composer members in at least four different categories. Please download the categories here. Although the ISCM need us to submit to them by 10 September, we are asking to receive your submissions by 18 August so that we have enough time to make a fair selection.
The NMSA board will select three composers to review our submissions (these composers will not be submitting any works) and they need time to make their selection of the final six as fairly as possible.
We therefore encourage as many of you as possible to submit up to three scores, stating clearly the category in which you are submitting, by Saturday 18 August latest. Only one work per composer can be submitted to the ISCM by us and they must be in at least four different categories. These are ISCM rules, not ours.
Please submit your best work to members@newmusicsa.org.za, or to my email, malcolmdedman@gmail.com as soon as possible.
Thank you
Malcolm Dedman
