Tufts University continues its long-standing commitment to the contemporary arts by issuing an open call for scores for the upcoming May 2004 Brave New Works residency. Composers are invited to submit original compositions for inclusion in the Brave New Works / Bounding Board Project to be held on May 20-31, 2004, featuring guest composer John McDonald. Submitted works will also be considered for inclusion in the core repertoire of Brave New Works.

Application Procedures:

The 2nd annual Bounding Board Project will feature guest ensemble Brave New Works (BNW). Instrumentation: flute(picc), clarinet(e-flat clarinet, bass clarinet), piano, harp, soprano, violin, violin, viola, cello
Works scored for the complete ensemble, as well as any smaller combination of these instruments, are encouraged.

Composers shall submit chamber works using the instrumentation of the Brave New Works ensemble.* Only works submitted for evaluation will be programmed in future BNW Projects.

* Please note that you are welcome to submit works scored beyond the above instrumentation, however, priority will be given to works that adhere to BNW's instrumentation.
