IN SHORT
Adapting the idea of a traditional “open mic” for a new music context with Contemporaneous serving as the band, this event provides an opportunity for all composers to submit their work for a free performance & recording.
MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This program adapts the idea of a traditional open mic for a new music context with the chamber orchestral forces of Contemporaneous serving as the band, providing an opportunity for composers of all ages and skill levels to submit their work at any stage of its development for a free performance.
Composers are free to take risks, try out new material, and hear their music performed in an open environment by the extraordinary musicians of the Contemporaneous Ensemble. The open mic will be free to the public as a space for creative community where artists from all backgrounds are welcome to gather, see, hear, and chat about their dreams and imaginations.
The event will also be professionally recorded, so that all composers involved can receive top-notch recordings of their work.
Food will be provided!
