Agreement with Camões Institute
The PMIC and the Camões Institute have established an agreement in order to alow for 178 of PMIC’s published scores to be available online at the Camões Digital Library. This new on-line library will be launched on January 22nd.

Scores Edition and Distribution on-line
The on-line scores’ edition and distribution by the Portuguese Music Information Centre continues in a fast growing pace. This public service project offers the on-line free edition of scores by Portuguese composers from the XX and XXI Centuries for download, thus hoping to assure the circulation of Portuguese works on a global scale. There are now 249 scores available on-line. Since last September four other composers have joined this project: Christopher Bochmann, Sara Carvalho, Fernando Corrêa de Oliveira and Clotilde Rosa. At the present moment the PMIC publishes the works of 40 composers already.

SOND’AR-TE ELECTRIC ENSEMBLE

Readings: CALL for Works’ readings

With this project, the Sond’Ar-te Electric Ensemble looks forward to promote the development of music writing for its basic ensemble formation, which is flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and electronics, as well as offering an experimental lab for composers. This is also meant to provide for a first encounter between composers and the Sond’Ar-te Electric Ensemble and a way for them to meet, musically speaking.

The presented score may be just a small fragment of a piece, but it must include the parts for each of the instruments. All of the 5 instruments which complete the basic formation of the ensemble must be part of the piece, except for the electronics which is optional in this context since the time available for rehearsal (45 min.) will not be enough for the use of it.

Composers are requested to be present for the readings rehearsal. Next readings rehearsal: 12th June 2009 at Centro Cultural de Cascais.
