The American Composers Orchestra is inviting composers to submit proposals for CoLABoratory: Playing it Unsafe, an extended series of rehearsals and public workshop/readings during the 2012-13 season. The submission deadline for proposals is March 15, 2012. The goal of the program is to allow composers to work in a collaborative environment with an orchestra, freeing them to experiment and take risks; workshops and readings from October 2012 to May 2013 will include feedback from ACO artistic staff Robert Beaser and Derek Bermel, and composer Morton Subotnick. The program will culminate in a public performance in Zankel hall at Carnegie Hall on April 5, 2013.
