The Other Minds Composer Fellowship presents composers with the opportunity for a unique residency in conjunction with the 16th Other Minds Festival of New Music, dubbed by the LA Times "the premier new music festival west of the Rockies."
Works by OM Fellows will be performed by the resident Other Minds Ensemble, in a concert in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 2, 2011. In addition, Fellows will participate in a series of residency events from Sunday, February 27 through Saturday, March 5, 2011, including lecture-presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and seminars.
To apply, please submit to Other Minds the following:

Applicants may submit an existing work or propose to write a new piece. Instrumentation must be flute, Bb clarinet or bass clarinet, violin, cello or a subset thereof; an applicant may also perform in his/her own work (piano not available) or make use of electronics.
