29 Sep 2028 AVS Recording Project – Apply by Jan 1
To provide opportunities for our members, the American Viola Society (AVS) announces our 2028 AVS Recording Project! This will be the 6th new full-length recording to be released via the AVS Presents recording label, a vehicle for AVS members to present and produce professional recordings sponsored by the AVS.
For this project, the AVS seeks professionally-recorded submissions of works for viola, including solo or with other instruments as long as the viola is prominently featured. There is no theme for this year. Works by composers from all demographics are encouraged to be submitted; the AVS Recording Project Selection Committee will consider demographics for a well-rounded, diverse program. Priority will be given to pieces that have not been recorded, have few existing professional recordings, or have few high-quality recordings. The call is open to complete works as well as individual movements, and the album will be a compilation of selections.
The deadline to submit your proposal is January 1, 2027.
Applicants must be active members of the AVS at the time of submission and continue their active membership through the release of the album. Priority will be given to applicants who have not previously appeared on an AVS Presents release. Recorded performances that have previously been released or will be released before the AVS album comes out are not eligible.
