Composers, this one’s for you!

In its ²⁰¹⁶⁄₁₇ season, FAWN Chamber Creative will present the fourth edition of their Synesthesia Series, which unites Canadian composers with artists of various performance disciplines. Synesthesia IV will be a unique process, through which FAWN will find the next composer for their Opera Series. The selected composer will work with FAWN to create a new ballet-lyrique, “a traditional French-form loved in the 16th and 17th-centuries, which we will bring to the 21st century stage.”

Composers interested in submitting should send a 1-5 minute recording of their work, plus the corresponding score, a bio, résumé, and a short summary of their compositional interests. The instrumentation is specific, and works must be include some or all of: tenor (voice), cello, electronics, percussion, and acoustic guitar.

The deadline for submissions is March 18, 2016, and the works will be subject to a secret audience vote on May 16.
