MELBOURNE JAZZ FRINGE FESTIVAL 2011 APRA COMPOSER COMMISSION
Following the success of the previous Melbourne Jazz Fringe Commissions, which resulted in the creation of extraordinary new works by Gian Slater, Jex Saarelaht, Colin Hopkins, Erik Griswold, and Ren Walters, the Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival is now calling for submissions for the 2011 Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival Commission.
The Commission provides $1500 to a composer to write an extended work for an ensemble (greater than 5 piece) of his or her choice and also provides rehearsal and performance fees for ensemble players. The commissioned work will be presented at the 2011 Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival. Festival dates are currently scheduled for April 29 – May 8, 2011. Interested parties are asked to provide a brief description of their proposal and a biography on one A4 page (font size 12 pt minimum). This should be emailed to andrew@melbournejazzfringe.com. Audio support material is also welcome (1 CD) and should be sent to:
