Deadline for Submissions: August 11, 2018
Event Date: Friday, October 19, 2018, time TBD
Event Venue: Hoover Library Plaza (Upstairs space by the coffee shop/cafe)
Instruments: Chamber music, no piano, no electronics or amplification
Duration: 10 minutes or less
NOTE: This year, as part of the 2018 BNMF, we will present our Friday night community concert at the Hoover Public Library Plaza. This space is in a public cafe area (with the possibility of a coffee machine occasionally grinding) so delicate compositions might not be best presented at this concert. Any submissions not selected for this specific event may be considered for programming on other BNMF concerts.
Requirements: Alliance members in good standing are invited to submit one piece to be performed at this concert. Because of the location, a piano is not available and submissions must not require electronics/amplification.
Works submitted must be 10 minutes or less in duration.
Composers are limited to one submission for this call.
How to submit: Submissions should be emailed to with “2018 BNMF-Hoover” as the subject, and should include a link (Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc) to the following files:
- A PDF score, if necessary (PDF scores can also be sent as an attachment)
- An audio recording (MIDI realizations are acceptable)
- A PDF document listing the name of the composer, title of the piece, instrumentation, duration, short biographical statement, and program notes.
Selected composers will be notified in early September.
If the information above is not provided when submitted, upon notification of a work’s acceptance for performance, the composer must supply all pertinent performance materials including a full score and individual parts, a concise one-paragraph bio of the composer, and a concise one-paragraph program note about the work. Failure to supply these materials in a timely manner will result in the composition not being presented during the festival.
