This key SOUNZ project, in collaboration with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Radio New Zealand Concert, produces new recordings of orchestral music for public broadcast and streaming on the SOUNZ and RNZ Concert websites.
Entry procedure -
- SOUNZ is calling for submissions of orchestral scores from SOUNZ composers. The submitted scores will be reviewed by a panel consisting of representatives from the participating organisations and CANZ. This is the ONLY call for scores for the 2016 session. Further information and entry forms are available here.
- From the submitted scores the panel will select up to 60 minutes of works to be performed by the NZSO and recorded by Radio New Zealand Concert during February 2016. SOUNZ acknowledges the generous support of the NZSO and Radio New Zealand Concert for this project.
- This call for submissions for the 2016 NZSO-RNZ Concert-SOUNZ Recordings closes on Monday 20 July 2015 at 9am.
- All composers who submit scores will be advised of the panel’s selections in mid August 2015. Composers with selected work must submit their finalised score & parts to SOUNZ by 9am on the 31st August.
- The panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
