Deadline: July 21st 2018 Our mission: VOICES 21C is a Boston-based chamber choir who seeks to combine high technical proficiency with creativity and compassion. The choir creates personal meaning in performance by connecting their musical messages to social justice issues in the USA and abroad, representing the voices of the silenced, the forgotten, and the marginalized. VOICES 21C Is a welcoming space for LGBTQ, committed to contemporary composers, and improvisational, interdisciplinary modes of performance through their co- creating, egalitarian leadership model. Objective: Coming up on our 4th year, we want to reach out to composers outside of our own circle. We are a group of 20+ teachers, composers, and conductors looking to establish connections with composers and refine the 21st Century components of our voice. For those Chosen: Winners of our 2018 Call for Scores will receive a live performance recording and a spot in our 2019 season, including our performance at the renown 2019 Choralies festival in Vaison-la-Romaine, France! Composers are also offered a chance to come workshop their piece at a live rehearsal in 2019. (V21C is not able to cover any travel expenses for this opportunity). What we are looking for: -Unaccompanied SATB (divisi conscious that we are +-6 on a part) -Pieces that align with our group mission (note: we are not an overtly political or protest-based organization) -Preferably pieces able to show, more than instruct/tell our audience about their messages -Music that could cater well to elements that VOICES 21C showcases in performance: -Group movement in performance -Concert programs presenting a constructed narrative -Improvisation on the individual and collective level -Potential for an added instrumental solo - please consult with Michael from our leadership team at michaelgenesecomposer@gmail.com in order to explore instrumental capabilities, as these options are based upon our roster for the season. Submission Fee: Our $20 submission fee goes directly towards defraying the cost of this season’s expenses for our singers. As a non-profit organization, our singers are not compensated for our work in VOICES 21C, which includes purchasing airfare for our season’s performances, performance preparation, and all that goes into planning each year of our existence. Your submission fee is tax deductible, and greatly appreciated as part of our 2018 fundraising efforts. Composers are encouraged to send as many pieces as they like, while filling out our form and submitting separate payment for each entry. (Ex: 2 submissions - $40, etc). Please go to https://goo.gl/forms/gcP6WJonEq0KFLxC2 to make your submission by July 21st, 2018. Results will be announced via our monthly newsletter in December 2018! |
