PERFORMERS &
LECTURE RECITALS
The Asian Classical Music initiative (ACMI) welcomes submissions of pre-existing and original works that showcase a range of AAAPI (Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander) classical musics and practices. This call includes proposals for 1) performances, and 2) lecture-recitals. The time limit includes set-up and pause between movements. Works utilizing electronic media will be considered contingent upon the availability of technological resources on site. Performers must provide their own computer or tablet and interface for any needed audio or video playback. Performers must provide their own instruments, including all percussion except pianos. Presentations requiring more than two pianos will not be considered. Pianos may not be prepared or altered in any way unless the insertion of objects can be installed and removed immediately before and after your performance.
-
1) Performances: While there is no limitation on the size of the ensemble (including solo), performances of 20-minutes or less that feature music by one or more composers. Performances are intended to present live music, and therefore speaking is generally limited to brief introductory comments.
-
2) Lecture-recitals: Limited to 30 minutes each, inclusive of delivery, discussion, and/or questions as appropriate. Lecture-recitals present scholarship in combination with live performance. Performers must arrange for their own accompanists.
The same topic may not be submitted as both a lecture-recital and performance.
Submission Requirements:

1. all participants and collaborators.
2. The proposal’s title
