TIME-SENSITIVE call-for-scores from a Frost MTC alumnus:
----------------------
Good Morning Dr. McLoskey!
I hope things are well at Frost! I really apologize for being so out of touch since graduating 2019. Despite the circumstances, I was glad that we had the chance to see each other at Dr. Carnochan's memorial.
I wanted to reach out as I'm finalizing programming for my chamber orchestra's upcoming October 18th program in Tampa and I would really love to include a contemporary work from a south-Florida based student as our opener. We don't currently have a budget to compensate for this, but we would be able to provide a decent live recording, and of course a performance.
I'm currently working on a more organized call-for-scores to send to hopefully make the MTC newsletter, but given the timeline I'm hoping this will be a bit more expedited.
If you could share my work email "[email protected]" and the following specifications with the rest of the department students, I would greatly appreciate it!
