Call for Works
There is no limitation on the type or length of a composition. Each school should submit approximately 45 minutes of music. Participating schools determine their own selection criteria and every attempt will be made to include all submissions. Selected composers are required to attend both the rehearsal and performance of their work. We strongly suggest that the composer/performer supply everything necessary, with the exception of PA, for the execution of the composition. We will do everything we can to accomodate various needs. The specifications of our setup are listed at the bottom of the page.
Early Submission – for compositions including cello and/or soprano saxophone – Due September 27th.
Tulane's Maxim Samorov (cello) and Loyola's Bhob Rainey (soprano saxophone) have committed to performing 3 to 5 pieces each on their respective instruments. These works will be selected by conference between the Tulane LaTex staff and the performers. Due to the time needed for selection and preparation, these submissions will be due by Thursday, September 27. Early submissions must include a score for cello or soprano saxophone, as well as any materials necessary for learning/rehearsing the piece.
Submissions will be accepted via an online process. Stay tuned for specific directions.
