| Details: |
New contemporary music ensemble Ret Frem are calling for composers of all ages to submit scores for chamber ensemble. We will accept both new scores and pieces that have been performed before. Successful submissions will be added to our repertoire through rehearsal and performance. THE CALL We accept scores in two categories: Category 1: Scores for quartet of flute, clarinet, violin and cello (with standard doublings). Category 2: Scores for any combination of flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano/electric keyboard (with standard doublings). There is no fee for submission. Scores can be in any style and of any duration. Scores for solo instrument are just as valid as a quintet or anything in between, in Category 2. We will contact composers whose scores we wish to perform as and when our programme permits. The call is ongoing and there is no deadline: scores will be selected based on the curation of specific concert programmes. Selected scores may be performed several times during our season. Please fill in the attached Submission Form and send to: retfrem@willhandysides.co.uk or Ret Frem Ensemble, Flat 1, 127 Stoke Newington Road, London, N16 8BT N.B. Not all our performance venues have pianos. RET FREM ENSEMBLE Ret Frem is a new chamber ensemble specialising in the exploration of contemporary classical music; a collaborative, creative enterprise between instrumentalists, composers and conductors. Our core membership of flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano rehearse regularly together to form a close relationship with the repertoire and to achieve the intuitive energy of ensemble playing. We are committed to giving further performances of works that have only been performed once. We will also perform new and commissioned works at least twice, and hope to assimilate them into our core repertoire. As well as performing as a chamber ensemble the players use the group to form ‘breakout’ duos and trios, and perform solo repertoire in the same concerts. We aim to engage a diverse audience by producing concerts in a different way, primarily by putting on Sunday morning brunch events in a relaxed atmosphere. |
