2011 MATA Festival: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
[conventional musical scores, electro-acoustic compositions, digital media works such as installations and multimedia collaborations]
Postmark Deadline: February 16th, 2010
MATA (Music at the Anthology) is currently accepting submissions from
young composers for possible commissions and performances on the 2010
MATA Festival in New York City. Materials for submission must include:
• Recording (CD) of one or two recent works
- We prefer you send two works, however no more than two may be submitted. Both should be on one CD
- If you submit an orchestral work, please also send a chamber or solo work
- MIDI recordings will not be accepted
• Scores to accompany the above recordings (unless scores are not pertinent to your work)
• Biography or resumé
• A list of works
• Contact information
• SASE to accommodate return of ALL submission materials (required)
NOTE: We do not accept submission via email.
Applicants must not have reached their 40th birthday by February 16th,
2010. Three or four commissions will be offered for the 2010
festival, and commissioning fees will range from $2500 to $6000
depending on the parameters of the work. Composers are expected to
attend the premiere of their piece. If a composer is not selected for
a commission, his or her submitted work will be considered for
inclusion on the festival. MATA will consider works of any
instrumentation and duration; please send whatever you consider to be
your best work. (If you submit an orchestral work, please also send a
chamber or solo piece.) In addition to traditional instrumental and
vocal combinations, MATA also accepts works that include digital
media, speaker-based sound pieces, electro-acoustic compositions, and
audio/visual presentations. If your performer interface (i.e. sheet
music) falls outside conventional notation systems, please include
examples and clearly explain its parameters. If your music has been
programmed on a MATA Festival, or you have received a Festival
commission, you must wait three years before re-applying. Only one
commission will be awarded to any one composer in his or her lifetime.
If your work has been performed on the MATA Interval series you are
still eligable to apply. To submit or for more information, contact:

ABOUT MATA
MATA is a non-profit organization that has, for the past thirteen
years, been dedicated to commissioning and presenting works by young
composers from around the world. MATA's directors are motivated by a
desire to create community among young musicians, especially those
whose work defies definition and doesn't fit into existing
institutions. By providing young composers with a professional
performance of their work, access to first-rate performers and
valuable connections to colleagues, MATA nurtures their entry into
American musical life.
Founded in 1996 by Philip Glass, Eleonor Sandresky, and Lisa Bielawa,
MATA presents pieces by young composers on a week-long festival, held
each spring in New York City. This festival always features several
works that MATA has commissioned specifically for the festival,
performed by professional musicians from around the world. In 2007
MATA initiated Interval, a bi-monthly concert series dedicated to
young composers presented in conjunction with Brooklyn venue Issue
Project Room. Each concert on the Interval series is curated by
participants in our Curatorial Associate Program, a paid internship
designed to teach young artists the basics of concert production and
arts administration. To date, MATA has commissioned over 50 works, and
has presented over 250 performances of pieces by young composers.
Performers on past MATA festivals have included the Boston Modern
Orchestra Project, Gamelan Son of Lion, The Knights Chamber Orchestra,
So Percussion, Nouvelle Ensemble Moderne, Either/Or, NOW Ensemble,
Newspeak, VOX Vocal Ensemble, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, and many more.
Composers who have been commissioned or presented by MATA early in
their careers include Pulitzer-prize winner Jennifer Higdon, Derek
Bermel, Yotam Haber, Annie Gosfield, Julia Wolfe, and Randall Woolf.
MATA holds an annual open call for scores, from which a panel of
established composers selects composers who will participate in that
year's festival. For most of these composers, the performance of their
work on the MATA Festival represents one of their first commissions,
and their first significant exposure to New York audiences. MATA
prides itself on giving young composers an outlet for their work,
thereby helping them aquire the skills necessary to begin their
musical career.
