CALL FOR SHORT OPERA and ART SONG SUBMISSIONS!
Composers and librettists: We’d like to formally invite you to submit work to our 2017-18 Fresh Squeezed Ounce Series Competition. Winning pieces will be produced and performed by One Ounce Opera in Austin, Texas.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF SHORT OPERA and/or ART SONG IS SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2017.
This will be the 3rd annual FSO-Opera, and the 2nd annual FSO-Art Song. These events are part of One Ounce Opera’s “Fresh Squeezed Ounce” series, celebrating new works and contemporary voices. In addition to having their works produced and performed in Austin, One Ounce Opera spotlights each composer/librettist in an informative blog post that includes an informal interview, each work is highlighted in our newsletter and on social media, and each winner receives a live video and audio recording. At each event, composers/librettists who are able to attend will be acknowledged and awarded a certificate (and some swag).
