July 17 and July 26 are travel days with events starting at 5PM on July 17, 2015 for selected resident composers. Eight composers from around the world will be selected through a portfolio application process to compose a work to be performed by the internationally acclaimed new music ensemble, Alarm Will Sound. Composers will take part in discussions and masterclasses with Hans Abrahamsen and Andrew Norman; take part in workshops with Alarm Will Sound and receive a professional live recording of the premiere performance of their work. Composers selected as resident participants for the festival will be expected to compose a work for Alarm Will Sound’s complete instrumentation, see below, lasting up to 8 minutes in duration. Each selected resident composer must submit a finished preliminary score by April 20, 2015 for review by Alarm Will Sound, and professionally prepared scores (2) and parts of the final work are due by May 11, 2015. Due to rehearsal/technical demands we will not be able to program works that include electronics. Festival tuition, room, and board for each selected composer will be provided through the generous contributions of the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation. Selected composers will need to pay for transportation to and from Columbia, MO. Direct questions regarding the festival to William J.
