NEW COMPOSERS (who have not had a piece selected for an AUSTA Q Reading Day in recent years) should also email a PDF of the score to: qld@austa.asn.au by Thursday 2nd January 2025. A panel will consider its suitability for inclusion in the Reading Day.
ON THE DAY If selected for inclusion in the Reading Day, it is expected that composers will arrive early on the day to help with setting up and stay to help with packing down. They will also need to provide the following copies of their music. (Please do not put these into folders as this will add bulk and weight when sending the folders to other states for their respective reading days).
2 x score
8 x violin 1
8 x violin 2
5 x viola
5 x cello
5 x bass
1 x piano
There will be a limit of 15 minutes per composer. Composers should be prepared to conduct their work or nominate another person to do so.
