The Conference Committee welcomes submissions of original works to be performed during the conference. Works under 10 minutes for solo instruments, one or two pianos (two or more hands), small ensembles, voice, tape works or works with electronic accompaniment will be considered.
For electronic music, and non-Western instruments, composers must either perform their own works or provide their own performer(s). The conference organizers will try to find performers for submitted works, but it is highly recommended that composers provide their own performers. (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.) Composers are strongly encouraged to attend the performance.
Required Information:
-
The names, pronouns, email addresses, and institutional affiliations of all proposers and/or collaborators.

The composition’s title, instrumentation, and duration.

PERFORMERS
The Conference Committee invites submissions for performance proposals that showcase AAAPI classical musics and practices. The time limit includes set-up and pause between movements. Works utilising 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.
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.
