Oh My Ears is seeking newly composed works for Mixed Brass Choir and / or Low Clarinet Choir (separate choirs).
Works will be performed by members of the ASU Brass Studio and Glendale Community College Team Lo-Blow. The performance will take place in Phoenix, AZ on the evening of February 22, 2025. Brass and clarinet choirs will be joined by the Desert Echoes Flute chamber choir (although there is no call for flute choir scores at this time).
Deadline: December 14th, 2024 Email submissions and questions directly to OME Program Director Bill Clay wclaymusic@gmail.com
There is no entry fee. There are no restrictions on who may submit works. Attendance of the performance by the composer is not required. Works may have been previously performed. Works should be for the given instrumentation specified below. Submissions of subsets of these instrumentations are allowed, but priority will likely be given to works for the full ensemble. Recordings (MIDI or live) are preferred but not required. At this time Oh My Ears cannot offer financial support to traveling composers. Traveling composers may inquire about the possibility of housing. Oh My Ears can provide visa support solely in the form of a letter upon request.
