Call for Performances
Deadline: 5 p.m. EST, 16 January 2018

The AMS Performance Committee invites proposals for concerts,
lecture-recitals, and other performances and performance-related events
during the 2018 San Antonio Annual Meeting, 1–4 November. We encourage
performance proposals that develop a point of view, offer a programmatic
focus, or explore new musicological findings. Performances related to the
meeting’s venue and/or that demonstrate the Society’s diversity of
interests, its range of approaches, and its generic, geographic, and
chronological breadth are especially welcome.

Freelance artists as well as performers and ensembles affiliated with
colleges, universities, or conservatories are encouraged to submit
proposals. Available presentation times include lunch hours and afternoons
on Friday and Saturday (one-hour slots), and evening on Thursday.

Required application materials include: 1) an application cover sheet
(available from the AMS office); 2) a proposed program listing repertory,
performer(s), and the duration of each work; 3) a list of audio-visual and
performance needs; 4) a short (100-word) biography of each participant
named in the proposal; 5) for concerts, a one-page explanation of the
significance of the program or manner of performance; for lecture-recitals,
a description (two pages maximum) explaining the significance of the
program and/or manner of performance, and a summary of the lecture
component, including information pertaining to the underlying research, its
methodology, and conclusions; 6) representative audio or visual materials
pertaining to the program and performers (twenty minutes maximum).

An individual may not present both a paper and a performance (or
lecture-recital) at the meeting. If an individual’s proposals to the
Program and Performance Committee are both selected, the applicant will be
given an early opportunity to decide which invitation to accept and which
to decline. Though the AMS is unable to offer a fee to artists, modest
subsidies are occasionally available for performance-related expenses.* Please
see the application cover sheet for proposal submission details*
<http://www.ams-net.org/sanantonio/performance-committee-cover-sheet-2018.pdf>
. *Materials must arrive at the AMS office* no later than 5 p.m. EST, 16
January 2018. Exceptions cannot be made to this deadline, so please plan
accordingly. Receipts will be sent to those who have submitted proposals by
the deadline, and the committee will communicate its decisions by 16 April
2018.

Regards

Laurie
