Details:	Synchromy announces a call-for-scores based on the writing of Ursula K. Le Guin We are planning a concert of music to celebrate the life and work of author Ursula K. Le Guin. This concert will be presented during the 2018-19 season in Los Angeles. We are seeking chamber music only, no large-ensemble or choral works will be considered. Completed scores are preferred, but works-in-progress will be considered in consultation with the composer. The details: • There is no fee for entry, and submitted scores should not be anonymous. • UPDATE – Scores should be directly related to the work or life of the writer Ursula K. Le Guin. Some examples o A setting of text written by UKL o A piece inspired by a specific work created by UKL o A piece written to honor UKL • Scores should be submitted by August 1st, 2018. In the case of works-in-progress, whatever is available should be submitted, along with a description of the remaining work to be completed. • Recordings are preferred, MIDI realizations are acceptable. • There is not a set instrumentation list, but keep in mind the practicalities will be a factor in programming, so large or unusual instrumentations may prevent us from being able to program your work at this time, though we’d still like to see it! • If you have set Le Guin’s text, please provide a signed statement saying that you have been authorized to do so by either Le Guin herself or her literary managers. • Submit scores and recordings (links to soundcloud or similar streaming options are fine) by August 1st, 2018 to synchromysubmissions@gmail.com . Scores that do not meet this deadline can still be submitted, but might not be considered. • There are no age limits or nationality/residency requirements. All are invited to share their work. • Synchromy will not be able to provide transportation, commissioning or rental fees for any composers whose work is selected for performance. Synchromy may not choose to perform any works submitted at all. • Selected scores and parts must be completed and delivered to Synchromy by October 1st, 2018 unless other specific arrangements have been agreed to by both parties.
