This year the Festival of Contemporary Music celebrates its 9th season. We received sixty-seven pieces submitted by forty-seven composers. Each composer is allowed to submit up to two pieces. Listening to each submission and making selections for the FCM is a long process. This year there are three of us in the selection committee which helped to make the process a little easier. After listening to all of the submissions the committee convened to discuss the submissions and make selections.
As with any open call for scores we received a wide variety of pieces in style and quality. Fortunately it was not all "questionable" or bad. We received many quality compositions. Not enough, however, to justify opening a third concert date in the future, but plenty to make two high-quality concerts.
The 9th Annual Festival of Contemporary Music is a two-concert event that will take place on Saturday, July 20, 2011 and Saturday, August 13, 2011 at the San Francisco Community Music Center. For more information please visit: www.newmusicforum.com.
