The Austrian Cultural Forum London is calling for new pieces for Kingma System flutes and electronics to be performed during an evening with Rarescale (Carla Rees and Michael Oliva).
Rarescale (Carla Rees and Michael Oliva) will premiere two works for Kingma System flutes and electronics during a special concert at the Austrian Cultural Forum London on 19 May 2015. The composers of the selected works will be invited to the premiere, with accommodation and travel costs provided by the Austrian Cultural Forum London.
The call is open to composers of any age who are Austrian or based in Austria. Please consult the guidelines below.
