Call for works/ BabelScores® Reading Panel 2011

BabelScores® is pleased to announce the Call for Works for the First BabelScores® Reading Panel 2011. BabelScores® is looking for the most creative and innovative composers from all over the world to continue building a quality catalog with important contemporary music pieces.

We strongly encourage composers of any age or nationality to submit one to three works of any instrumentation or for electronics or mixed media to the BabelScores® Reading Pannel.
