Call for Submissions for Programming of the 2026-2027 Season

The Birmingham Art Music Alliance Programming Committee announces the annual call for score proposals for next season. Works do not have to be completed at the time of submission. No scores or recordings are required at this time.

Members may submit up to a maximum of THREE proposals drawn from the following categories:

  1. Violin, cello, piano trio (only subset: violin and piano);
  2. Clarinet, trumpet, trombone, percussion, piano quintet (no solos; perc.: no marimba, timpani, tubular bells)
  3. Alto flute and piano (accepting works for solo alto flute, solo flute, and flute and piano
  4. Baritone and piano (accepting solos for baritone and works for baritone and multimedia).

A list of accepted proposals will be announced after the next Programming Committee review meeting (mid-March, 2026).

Please note that a proposal submission does not guarantee the work will be selected for performance.

Upon acceptance of a work, the member may be asked to take part in the publicity and production of the concert for which their piece has been selected.  

Failure to undertake these responsibilities may result in a selected piece not being included on a program.

Members may submit up to two works for consideration.
