JAM Call for Music

The annual 'Call for Music' for composers wishing to write for SATB choir, brass quintet and organ has been announced.

JAM
  The annual competition provides exciting opportunities for composers

JAM's (John Armitage Memorial Trust) annual 'Call for Music' is now open for composers to submit scores for SATB choir, brass quintet and organ, or any combination of the instruments.

Selected works will be performed at JAM's 25th anniversary concert, 'Music of Our Time', on 26th March, at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London.

Opportunity

The annual competition offers the rare opportunity for composers to have music professionally performed and filmed in central London to an audience that includes leading members of the media and music industry.

Many successful submitters have enjoyed repeat performances, enhanced profile, commissions and/or been published through the networking opportunity the performance day provides.

The 'Call for Music' is open to anyone aged 18 and over if they are born, living or studying in the UK.

Full guidelines

Full guidelines and how to submit can be found at www.jamconcert.org.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "2025 marks JAM's 25th anniversary of nurturing, commissioning and promoting new music; enabling composers of all ages to flourish, sustaining this under-supported genre and swelling the repertoire.

26th March will feature a glittering display of new British music; submissions from the Call for Music will be programmed with JAM commissions from the last 25 years:
