2019 IU South Bend Ensemble CONCEPT/21 Call for Scores
The Department of Music at Indiana University South Bend is pleased to invite applications for the IU South Bend Ensemble CONCEPT/21 Call for Scores featuring new music ensemble EC/21, at the Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts. This competition will take place during the 2018-2019 academic year. This year, EC/21 is partnering with Columbia College Chicago and will offer two concerts with the selected works in a program called “New Voices in Michiana,” one at Indiana University South Bend on April 5, 2019 at 7pm EST and one at Columbia College Chicago on April 19, 2019 at 7pm CST.
Submissions must be received by January 14, 2019 at 11:59pm.
Eligibility
• Applicants must be students enrolled in either high schools or colleges in Indiana or southern Michigan; preference will be given to students in the Michiana Area (St. Joseph, Elkhart, La Porte, Marshall, and Starke Counties in Indiana and Berrien and Cass Counties in Michigan).
• Works should have never been publicly performed before and never published or awarded a prize in a competition.
• Compositions should be no more than 6 minutes in length.
• Compositions should be scored for a maximum instrumentation of flute, clarinet, violin, violoncello, one performer in percussion, and piano. Smaller subsets of this instrumentation could be used, with a minimum ensemble requirement of three instruments.
• Incomplete, illegible, or late applications will not be considered. Composers must provide professional-quality, legible parts.
• If selected, composers must attend rehearsals (which will be scheduled within the three weeks prior to the concert) and premiere of the work in the last concert of the season, on April 5, 2019 at 7pm EST at Indiana University South Bend. This concert will be repeated on April 19, 2019 at 7pm CST at Columbia College Chicago.
The top two selected composers may be offered a scholarship for up to 30 credits a year of undergraduate study at IU South Bend or 18 credits of graduate study (subject to verification of minimum scholarship requirements in GPA/SAT and acceptance to the music composition program to start in the next academic year).
Application Process
• Composers should submit a PDF file including the score and parts via email to musicsb at iusb.edu. The email should have the subject: “Application to the 2019 IU South Bend EC/21 Composition Competition.” The name, title of the work, and a short biography should be included in the body of the message.
• The scores and parts included in the PDF must be anonymous; they should bear no name or any reference that could be traced to the name of the composer. Non-anonymous entries will be disqualified.
• If selected, the composer will use postal mail to submit to the address below the score and parts.
Selection Process
• The creativity, quality, and idiomatic instrumental writing of the score submitted are the primary evaluation criteria. It is in the applicant's best interest that the score be clear, accurate, and the best representation of the composer's work.
• The music director and ensemble members of Ensemble CONCEPT/21 will evaluate the scores first and make the selection of finalists.
• An outside juror will make the final winning selection(s) out of the finalist works.
• The winner(s) will be announced no later than February 4, 2019.
