The Mute
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/15-03-06-The_Mute.jpg>
The Mute
Henrik Pringler, Sergeant-Trumpeter with the Sixth Mustachioed Dragoon
Guards, was forever misplacing his horn's mute. (That's the mechanical
thingie that muffles the sound of a brass instrument.) His wife, Prudence,
solved the problem by designing a mute that doubled as a helmet which nicely
complemented Henrik's military uniform. Thenceforth, he was never without
it. Regrettably, Henrik typically forgot that he was wearing the thing until
a measure after he needed it. Worse, he would invariably dope smack himself
on the head for his forgetfulness, which often resulted in a puncture wound.

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with Tzu-En Lee
March 8, 2015
Sunday at 1:00pm
Fifteen Minutes of Fame is 15 one-minute works by different composers.
Fifteen composers selected for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with Tzu-En Lee. Vox
Novus called for one-minute pieces composed for Solo violin with a theme of
Taiwanese Folk Music. This Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame for Tzu-En Lee is to be
premiered on March 8, 2015 for the Composer's Voice concert Series at the
Jan Hus Church in New York City. The theme "Taiwanese Folk Music" serves as
an inspiration for the composers. Ms. Lee wishes to inspire the composers to
write original music to exemplify her love for Taiwanese music.
Fifteen Minutes of Fame gives a variety of new music by living composers to
audiences hungry to hear what is being created in today's music scene.
"...the 15 Minutes of Fame project of Vox Novus is a godsend. It organizes
competitions whereby ensembles commission worldwide calls for submissions of
approximately one-minute pieces, and then select their 15 favorites for
premieres. The players, themselves emerging and without the funds for a
traditional commission fee, get original works to present, while the
likewise emerging composers get a chance for exposure and a premiere..." -
Seth Gilman, NY Music Culture Examiner
<http://www.examiner.com/article/a-parhelion-sighting-queens-part-2>
Violinist Tzu-En Lee has began studying violin at the age of five. Since
then, she has performed extensively in her native Taiwan and has won
numerous competitions, including Taiwan National Violin Competition. Since
coming to the United States, Tzu-En Lee studied violin performance at Mannes
College of Music. She graduated with a diploma in the Spring of 2012 and is
currently pursuing further studies in the graduate program at Mannes under
the tutelage of violinist Yuri Vodovoz. In addition to her studies, Ms. Lee
has enjoyed taking part in the musical life of NYC as a free-lance musician.
Since 2009 she has performed with the Pocket Opera of NY. Tzu-En Lee has
also sought out opportunities to perform the music of contemporary
composers. She has participated in the Second and Third Annual Social
Networking Concerts, produced by composer Douglas Townsend at Saint Peter's
Church in Manhattan, where she has performed a world premiere of the work by
Australian composer Houston Dunleavy. Ms. Lee performed in New York as a
soloist, alongside violinists Muneyoshi Takahashi and Kinga Augustyn, with
the Broadway Bach Ensemble, conducted by Arkady Leytush, in the New York
premiere of Douglas Townsend's Concerto "in the old style" for Three Solo
Violins and String Orchestra (1994).

Electronic Music Midwest
2015 Call for Submissions
Lewis University and Kansas City Kansas Community College are pleased to
announce an international call for submissions for the Electronic Music
Midwest Festival, featuring guest performer Keith Benjamin (trumpet), to be
held November 19-21, 2015 at Kansas City Kansas Community College.
Each concert will feature an 8.1 speaker diffusion system. Acclaimed
trumpeter, Keith Benjamin, will be the featured performer and composers are
encouraged to submit works for his consideration. Any composer regardless of
region, age or nationality may submit one work.
EMM accepts all electroacoustic works, but we especially seek music that
falls within one of the following categories:
1) Composition for trumpet and fixed media and/or live electronics
2) Two channel works for fixed media
3) Up to eight channel works for fixed media
4) Instrument(s)/Voice(s) and fixed media or live electronics (composer to
provide performers)
5) Works for video
6) Sound Installations and Interactive Media (composer to provide all
non-standard equipment)
7) Live Laptop works
8) Live Interactive works
Deadline: May 20, 2015
Entry Fee: none
Submission Guidelines:
1) For consideration, applicants must register and complete an online
submission form available at http://www.emmfestival.org. Complete submission
information and guidelines are available on the EMM website.
2) For adjudication purposes, multi-channel works (up to 8 channels) must be
submitted as a stereo mix and uploaded at http://www.emmfestival.org. The
EMM 8-channel speaker array uses a front and rear center.
Composers whose works are selected for this festival are required to submit
a $60 registration fee at the festival and must agree to attend the
festival. Regrettably, EMM is not able to offer travel stipends or
honorariums to festival participants at this time. EMM is not able to
consider works that do not conform to the guidelines outlined above.
A Note About Registration:
There is no cost to submit works for consideration to EMM; however,
composers who by juried process are selected to participate must register
for EMM and pay a registration fee at the festival. In the future, EMM hopes
to eliminate the registration fee altogether and offer a stipend to
composers for their creative work. Due to a shoe-string budget at the
moment, this small registration fee helps defray the cost of hosting EMM.
Without it, the EMM Festival could not exist.
In support of EMM's mission statement, all events are free and open to the
public. Audience members are not required to register; however, donations
are always welcome. We do not collect donations at the concert, therefore,
if you would like to make a financial gift to EMM, please contact Mike
McFerron
As stated in the call for submissions, each composer selected to present at
EMM is required to remit a $60 registration fee. Note that only one
registration fee is collected for works by more than one composer or
collaborations. Upon arrival at EMM, composers should check-in with the
registration desk to pay the registration fee and collect a festival
information packet. Payment can be in the form of cash or personal check.
EMM will provide a receipt at that time for those who need documentation for
reimbursement. Please note that EMM does not accept credit or debit cards.
