Call for proposals

FNMC is now accepting proposals for our third New Music Festival taking place October 23-25, 2026 at Oklahoma City University! ​
 Reflective of the larger goals of FNMC, the New Music Festival seeks to feature new works, facilitate connections between performers, composers, and audiences, and continue the conversation of what it means to be a musician in the twenty-first century.

​The New Music Festival will include workshops, performances, lectures, and panel discussions selected via the call for proposals, as well as events which feature composer Kevin Day, networking events for musicians and composers, and performances of winning works from FNMC’s composition competition.
We welcome performances and lecture recitals that feature works by living composers or pieces composed in the last 50 years, as well as workshops, panel discussions, and lectures relevant to performers and composers of the twenty-first century.
​
  • Performers may submit a single piece or multiple pieces for consideration.
  • Presentations, workshops, and performances should be no longer than 30 minutes in length.
  • Both performers and composers are invited to submit applications, but composers are responsible for confirming and coordinating all performers. ​
  • Performances and works may include any instrumentation and are not limited to pieces including flute.
Proposal Deadline:
​April 15, 2026, 11:59pm CST
Presenters/performers will be notified via email by June 15, 2026.

​ Accepted performers and presenters and any collaborative artists are responsible for providing their own transportation/accommodations and will be expected to register for the festival ($50 for non-FNMC members and $30 for current members).  ​
