Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo flute. Selected works will be premiered on Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with flutist Lisa Bost-Sandberg in 2025 with an online performance.

Only works one-minute in length for flute will be considered. Deadline for works is December 31, 2024

Bost-Sandberg performs on a Kingma System® flute. This revolutionary instrument can be played as a traditional C flute, but it also includes extra keys, expanding the sonic capabilities. It allows for a more facile and even quartertone scale, a considerably increased multiphonic vocabulary, and extensive options for alternate fingerings. Composers are welcome to embrace these possibilities in their submissions if desired; traditional writing for the flute is also possible and encouraged.

Works are for flute solo only no electronics.
Works should be composed specifically for this call and performer.
