Attention orchestra administrators: Now is the time to show off your orchestra’s 2009-10 world, U.S., or Canadian premieres by submitting them for inclusion in the annual Symphony survey. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, June 3, 2009. In the September/October issue of Symphony, we’ll summarize premieres planned across the country between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010, and will direct readers to a complete listing of performances on the League of American Orchestras website, americanorchestras.org. Searchable by composer and orchestra name, the directory will be accessible to anyone searching the Web all season long. National press will also be informed of this important resource. To submit your premieres, go to https://secure.americanorchestras.org/premierslist-09.shtml . Then follow the directions to fill out and send a paperless Premieres form. If you’d rather receive a printable form by e-mail attachment or return mail, please contact Assistant Editor Ian VanderMeulen at ivandermeulen@americanorchestras.org .
