June in Buffalo 2013 call for scores announced!
June in Buffalo will be very special this year with the addition of the
Performance Institute, which will
begin on Thursday, May 30th, and then run concurrently with June in Buffalo
from Monday, June 3 – Sunday, June 9th. This will be the first year ever where
emerging contemporary music performers and ensembles will be studying,
practicing, and workshopping alongside participant composers. We expect one of
the most dynamic, collaborative, and compelling June in Buffalo Festivals ever
this year, as young contemporary music performers and composers blend together
and form relationships with not only faculty composers and performers, but each other as well. Full details on applying as an auditor or participant composer below:
