During the 2025-2026 season, the Birmingham Art Music Alliance will
program a number of Bring-Your-Own and Do-It-Yourself pieces, either on
dedicated concerts or in tandem with other projects. BAMA will secure
venues and promote/produce/document concerts, but not provide
compensation for performers.
Submissions are not limited to but might include fixed media,
performances by the composer, performances funded or facilitated by the
composer, spontaneous compositions (solo or group), and performer member
proposals.
Current BAMA members may submit any number of qualifying works, listed
in order of preference. There are no restrictions regarding duration.
However, longer pieces may not be feasible, so consider including at
least one contingency proposal if your first choice is more than 12 minutes.
