The Evan Erickson Music "Call for Scores" is an annual initiative specifically aimed at composers with no way to get their foot in the door because they lack the resources to hear their music performed or recorded. For selected composers, the opportunity aims to provide performances at national conferences, quality recordings, and as much exposure as possible to make sure their works are heard.
This ambitious project has been able to premiere works by 14 composers out of ~500 applications from composers representing 50+ countries from around the world. In 2023, the opportunity was sponsored by "Finale" and "Noteperformer," also partnering with George N. Gianopolous for further exposure. The "2024 Call for Scores" has concluded (sponsored by "Dorico," "Noteperformer," "Brian Corbin Clarinet Products," and "Royal Global"), but you can learn more about the opportunity and stay connected / notified for future calls by signing up for the Evan Erickson Music newsletter here: www.evanericks....
