In collaboration with the International Museum and Library of Music in Bologna In.Nova Fert Aps (Association for Social Promotion) is announcing a call for scores for original and unpublished compositions that cannot be found online and haven’t been performed outside of academic environments. Selected works will be performed by the In.Nova Fert Ensemble in December 2023 as part of the season “UltimaMusica: musiche inaudite di questo (ed altri) secoli” (“LastMusic: unheard music from this (and other) centuries") at the International Museum and Library of Music in Bologna (IT).

The call for scores is open to composers under 40 years of age of any nationality. Each participant may submit no more than two scores. Compositions with a maximum duration of 12 minutes will be accepted, composed for an ensemble of 2 to 5 instruments chosen from the following:

Flute (also alto flute and piccolo);
Clarinet (also bass clarinet)
Oboe (also English Horn)
Accordion
Piano

Scores will be performed without a conductor, with the exception of full ensemble works. The use of electronics is not permitted.
The jury, composed of the board of the In.Nova Fert Aps and members of the In.Nova Fert Ensemble, will select up to a maximum of 3 pieces. The jury reserves the right to select a fewer number of pieces depending on the suitability of the submissions; it also reserves the right to mention additional scores considered worthy of attention, which may be included in the Ensemble's programming in the future. The judgments of the jury are final and unappealable.

In order to participate, you will have to be a member of In.Nova Fert Aps. Annual Membership is €10. There is an additional administrative fee of €10 per piece, up to a maximum of two.
