ECPNM calls for entries for 4th European competition for live-electronic music projects

Utrecht, Monday, 28-03-2011

The ECPNM – European Conference of Promoters of New Music – hosts the fourth European competition for the composition of live-electronic music projects for orchestra. Deadline for entry of projects is 15 April 2011.

The organising partners of this competition are members of the ECPNM such as: EULEC in Lüneburg / Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, Germany; MISO Music, Portugal; Gaudeamus Music Week, the Netherlands.

The organizers of this competition are looking for project proposals that demonstrate in an innovative way new possibilities for the combination of instruments and live-electronics as well as innovative use of live-electronics with the composer as a performer. A maximum of 5 projects will be selected by a jury (representatives of the above-mentioned organisations); these projects should be pre-produced by the applicants and will then be premiered in the framework of the ECPNM General Assembly in Hamburg in November 2011.

This year projects can be entered for the “Sinfonieorchester der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg” and live-electronics, conducted by René Gulikers; the selected works will be rehearsed in the week before the first performance on 19 November; further performances will possibly take place during events of the organisations mentioned above by the same orchestra or by local orchestras. The members of the ECPNM will do their best to program this winning work in their festivals and concerts during the seasons 2011/2012/2013.

For all the details of the competition, please read the Call for Entries.
