3RD PRE-ART COMPETITION FOR COMPOSITION 2007 IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE and CAUCASE

It’s the third time that pre-art is calling for compositions in the region where the organisation has been working during the last six years.

The competition is directed at composers from following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kosova, Macedonia, Moldavia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and Ucraine.

We demand a quartet composition for the following instruments: flute (also piccolo/alto flute), oboe (also cor anglais/bass oboe), concert accordion and double bass.
