Want Crash Ensemble to play your music?

Have your music performed by an internationally recognized, professional new music group. Crash Ensemble’s Free State 10 concert will feature music from up-and-coming Irish composers selected from open submission by all members of Crash Ensemble.

Free State 10 will take place Dublin in 2017 as part of the ensemble’s 20th anniversary celebrations. 

Call for Scores: Free State 10 

Deadline: Monday 5th December 2016, 5pm.

What we ask of you:

-Be born in or currently resident in Ireland (Rep. and NI).

-Write for instruments within the ensemble (Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass/ Electric Bass, Piano, Electric Guitar, Percussion, Clarinet/ Bass Clarinet, Flute/ Piccolo, Trombone). Any grouping of, or solo pieces for these instruments are fine. We’d really like some brand spanking new works for the full ensemble (all 10 instruments) if at all possible.

-Make sure your piece is under 20 mins (shorter is better) so we can fit as many as possible into the programme. 

-The piece can include electronics. (These can be live electronics if you like – we’d love to have you on stage with us).

-One piece per composer.

-We will be selecting works ‘blind’ so don’t put your name on the score or mp3 (send personal details in your email only).

Send your score as a PDF, with a MP3/electronic mock up (if you have one) and include your name and contact details on a separate page/cover email.
