The Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra has announced a new call for scores for 2020 in collaboration with UCLA Music Library. Here is part of their announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A new collaboration between the Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra<\/a> and the UCLA Music Library<\/a>, part of the UCLA Library system, will empower living composers by making their work more accessible and reducing barriers for applicants to Kaleidoscope\u2019s 2020 Call for Scores.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kaleidoscope\u2019s annual Call for Scores was established in 2015 to recognize the most innovative and engaging music being written today. Selected composers will have their work performed on Kaleidoscope\u2019s 2020-2021 season, including performances at UCLA.<\/em>
\u201cIn the past five years Kaleidoscope has performed over 100 new works and seen an incredible interest in our annual Call for Scores, receiving over 2200 new works from composers in 90 countries in 2019 alone,\u201d said Benjamin Mitchell, Kaleidoscope\u2019s founder and president.<\/em><\/p>\n

While composers applied with a $30 application fee in past years, support from the UCLA Music Library has eliminated the requirement this year. <\/em>
The collaboration allows applicants to elect to have the UCLA Library publish their submitted compositions open access for future performance and study in conjunction with OpenUCLA<\/a>, a Centennial Celebration initiative created to help remove barriers to research and scholarship.<\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew Vest, UCLA music librarian, said \u201cOne of the exciting things about our collaboration is that unlike many traditional publishing agreements, composers will keep full copyright, have better control of performances and royalties, and have their work made accessible in an unprecedented way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Those looking for new works by living composers will have the ability to view the open access published scores online from anywhere in the world. (For example, see Awake 3.0 by Tom\u00e0s Peire Serrate). Composers with already published works or who prefer not to participate in open access publishing will still be eligible to apply and be considered for Kaleidoscope\u2019s 2020-2021 season.<\/em><\/p>\n
