FLINDERS QUARTET'S 2023 EMERGE COMPOSER PROGRAM

SUBMISSION TERMS & CONDITIONS:

FQ’s Emerge Program is a year-long score-study, development and mentorship program for emerging Australian composers passionate about writing for string quartet. No age or gender restrictions apply.

Composers must be Australian citizens or permanent residents with an Australian home address.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

  1. A completed entry form submitted online: available here

  2. Up to three examples of previous composition work, preferably chamber music, in PDF format emailed to admin@flindersquartet.com

  3. Optional mp3 midi file/s of previous composition work emailed to admin@flindersquartet.com

Up to five composers will be chosen to take part in the 2023 program. The successful composers will be notified by the end of November 2022.

It is a condition of submission that the successful composers allow use of their name and image for media and publicity purposes and make themselves available for media interviews as required.

Submissions are open to composers anywhere in Australia, and Flinders Quartet will provide a travel stipend to any participants who reside outside of the Melbourne area to enable them to attend the in-person workshops and final performance. If a participating composer is not able to be present in person, FQ will endeavour to organise a video conference-style workshop.

The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
