Ensemble Échappé wants to learn more about your music. Please apply to our Call for Scores for the opportunity to have your music programmed on our next season. We are also delighted to announce the search for our new Composer-in-Residence position (2018-20). This post includes the programming of your music throughout our next 2 seasons, the opportunity to contribute to artistic planning, and a commission for a new work to be premiered at the end of the residency. We look forward to hearing from you.
Composers of any age or nationality are invited to submit scores to our dual call. One composer will be selected for the 2017-19 residence position, and at least 2 scores will be selected for programming next season in New York City. There are no restrictions on the works submitted - pieces may have been previously performed, recorded, and/or awarded. While we are open to performing works of any instrumentation (full ensemble and/or chamber music), we are a sinfonietta of the following instrumentation, 1111.1110. 2perc, hp, pno, strings (2.1.1.1.1), so works that fit into that subset will be more conducive to programming. Please make a special note and include technical information for any works involving additional media (electronics, video, special staging, etc.).
Application requirements include:
