CERIMONIALI RITMICI 2020
International Call for Scores by Blow Up Percussion
FIRST EDITION 2020
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As part of the series of concerts and masterclasses ‘Cerimoniali Ritmici 2020’, Blow Up
Percussion, legally represented by the eponymous association, advertises an international call for scores selecting four works by composers under-39.
The shortlisted works will be part of the festival held in Rome between September and October 2020.
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Scores (no more than two for each candidate) must be written for a percussion ensemble, be it a duo or a quartet, or, alternatively, for a percussion solo.
The use of electronics (live and tape) is permitted.
Should the candidate send two scores, one of them will have to be for solo percussion.
Both scores may include the use of electronics (live and tape), or may be both acoustic.
If the score requires other instruments or particular items, composers must provide them to the ensemble in time for rehearsals; failing to do so will grant the ensemble the right to decide whether to perform the piece or not.
