The Department of Music at Jacksonville University is pleased to announce a call for submissions for the seventh-annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance, a three-day festival of electronic music and art, to be held February 8 – 10, 2018 on the campus of Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida. This year’s festival will feature cellist Shannon Lockwood and the Jacksonville University Faculty New Music Ensemble, comprised of Chris Creswell, trombone; Tony Steve, percussion; John Ricci, saxophone; and Boril Ivanov, piano. Composers are encouraged to submit works for the consideration of the featured artists.

You will need to complete a submission form for each work. Accepted composers are required to attend the festival for their work to be performed.
