The IGNM (international Association for Contemporary Music) has extended the deadline of its call for scores, open to composers of all ages living in Austria and Slovenia.
The project is devoted to improving artistic exchange between composers living in Austria and Slovenia. A young ensemble from each country has been invited to take part in the project: between feathers (AT) and Trio Tempestoso (SI). The project additionally aims to promote young talent and strengthen intercultural dialogue.
Composers resident in Slovenia and Austria (both citizens and international) are invited to submit existing works for any combination (duo to septet) of the following instruments:
Flute, clarinet, percussion, two accordions, voice, and violoncello
There is no age limit.
Deadline:

- Links to audio or video recordings or MIDI realizations of the pieces, if available. Please do not send files!
