Betreff: Ausschreibung für die ISCM World New Music Days 2020 in Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand
Datum: Wed, 5 Jun 2019

Liebe Mitglieder der GNM,

anbei schicke ich Ihnen die Ausschreibung zu den Weltmusiktagen 2020 in Neuseeland.

Wie in jedem Jahr können die Einreichung entweder individuell bei der ISCM oder über eine Vorauswahl der deutschen GNM vorgenommen werden. Die Bewerbungen für die Vorauswahl der deutschen GNM können (wie auch bereits in den vergangenen Jahren) ausschließlich digital eingereicht werden. Die ISCM erlaubt für jeden Komponisten nur ein Werk.

Einsendeschluss für die Deutsche Jury ist 5. Juli 2019, 23.59 Uhr!

Für die Auswahl der Deutschen Jury darf jeder maximal zwei Werke aus unterschiedlichen Kategorien einreichen. Die Werke sollen eine Spieldauer von 12 Minuten nicht überschreiten und nach dem Jahr 2012 komponiert worden sein. Einzelheiten zu den jeweiligen Kategorien etc. finden Sie im PDF im Anhang oder unter https://www.iscm2020.nz/.

Da es bei den „World New Music Days“ einen „Young Composer’s Award“ gibt, in dem das beste Werk eines Komponisten/einer Komponisten unter 35 Jahren ausgezeichnet wird, möchten wir ganz besonders die Jungen Komponistinnen und Komponisten einladen, sich an diesem Call for Works zu beteiligen!

Folgende Unterlagen werden für die Einreichung benötigt:

● The composer’s personal and contact information: Given names; Family name; Name as it should appear in the programme; Date of birth; full Mailing address; Gender; Phone no.; email address; website (if applicable).

● Work information: Title; Submission Category; Accurate duration; Year of composition;

● The score (PDF), or audio/video documentation if the work does not have a written score – as described in the Work Categories.

● Statement of whether the work has been previously performed.

● An audio or video recording of the work (if available).

● Program notes in English for the submitted work (maximum 100 words).

● Technical rider specifying all equipment necessary to perform the work.

● Short biography in English of the composer (maximum 100 words).

● Proof of nationality of the composer (copy of passport or identity card).

● High-resolution digital photograph of the composer.

WICHTIG: Fehlerhafte und/oder unvollständige Bewerbungen können nicht akzeptiert werden! Zuletzt gab es immer häufiger Probleme mit Werken, die nicht den exakten Kategorien entsprachen, zu lang waren, nicht vorher angegebenes technisches Equipment benötigten etc., sodass die nationalen Jurys nochmals nachdrücklich darauf hingewiesen wurden, hierauf in Zukunft besonders zu achten.)

Bitte die Unterlagen immer mittels einer Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/de/) oder dergleichen hochladen (Bitte keine Emailanhänge) und dann den Link bis zum 5. Juli 2019 an die beiden folgenden Emailadressen schicken:

olbrisch@ignm-deutschland.de

info@ignm-deutschland.de

Da sich die Ausschreibung nicht allein auf GNM-Mitglieder bezieht, können Sie diese Mail auch gern weiterleiten. Wir hoffen trotz der wiederum recht kurzen Frist auf eine zahlreiche Teilnahme und viele spannende eingereichte Werke!

Mit herzlichen Grüßen
