The NODUS Ensemble in collaboration with the 2021 New Music Miami ISCM Festival being held at Florida International University (FIU) is pleased to announce a call for scores for possible performance at the Festival being held in the Spring of 2021 (currently dates in April) featuring soloists from the NODUS Ensemble. The call is open to all composers without restrictions and as in the past the ensemble and festival look to present works by a diverse group of composers.
~ Solo works that employ any of the following for one performer will be considered: clarinet (Bb/bass), piano, percussion, violin, viola, cello, contrabass, classical guitar, soprano voice. Works may incorporate electronics and/or video. In addition, works for violin and cello will also be considered.
~ Electro-Acoustic Works with or without video (including with a soloist from NODUS Ensemble as listed above)
~Works for the Pakk-Calloway violin (viola) and cello duo
~Works for the Misty Shore Duo Concert (piano, cello, and electronics)
Due to programming considerations works over 15 minutes will not be considered. Please note that although every effort is being made to present the festival live with an audience, due to the pandemic some/all of the New Music Miami Festival may have to be realized virtually. All of the above cited soloists have the capability to record performances remotely which if needed will be transmitted on the New Music Miami Festival YouTube channel. Please feel free to visit and check out the performances here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYrzbrp9NJM1_r3czkjN9cw
Selected pieces will be announced through the conference web site.
