Submissions for scores and applications for guest artists are open on our website! Click here if you have a score you'd like us to play for our New Music Festival on October 15th-16th, 2022, and click here if you're interested in performing a 30-minute set on one of the concerts. The Festival will feature three concerts in downtown Eugene, from the Park Blocks to the First Christian Church and the New Zone Gallery. The Light and Art show in the Park Blocks will draw on the energy of ArtCity's BEAM, with amplified music and an interactive light exhibit for audience members. Our audience participation concert draws trained and untrained musicians alike into a collective sound-making space at the First Christian Church, and our concert at New Zone will set pieces for the ensemble in an inviting visual atmosphere. The Call for Scores closes June 1st, and the Guest Artist Application closes July 1st.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Our annual New Music Festival is a three-concert series featuring experimental scored and unscored works, improvisations, and audience participation pieces. Our EDME musicians, selected guest artists, and invited guest performers present a variety of styles by a diverse array of composers. The first concert partners with the local nonprofit ArtCity and will feature an interactive light-based art across the street from their annual exhibition. All performances are free and open to the public.
