REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
The Flea Theater is delighted to announce the third season of Music With A View, in 2008/2009, a music series devoted to the discovery of new, fresh sound created and performed by contemporary musicians. The Flea has again invited Kathleen Supové to curate the series. Music With A View @ The Flea will feature works in progress by emerging and/or mid-career composers followed by an open discussion between the artists and the audience, curated by performer Kathleen Supové and special guests. Each evening, two or three composers will have the opportunity to share their work. Music With A View @ The Flea was created to complement Dance Conversations @ The Flea and will follow the same format. We invite artists working in the field of music to have their work seen and heard in a professional and informal setting by other groundbreaking composers, fellow musicians and enthusiastic fans. The dates for Music With A View @ The Flea 2008-2009 will be announced in MAY 2008 *Please note that traditionally, one Music With A View @ The Flea matinee has been designated our "family friendly" event and is meant to be work that is fast-paced, full of activity and some visual interest, and strange and quirky in a good way. Music With A View @ The Flea is a free series and as such there is no remuneration for artists, but a wonderful opportunity for composers to showcase their work. The series will take place at The Flea, a beautiful, clean and temperature-regulated performance space located in Tribeca. The Flea has an excellent Yamaha 7' grand piano that is also a DCV Disklavier with midi receive and midi out function, a house sound system with a digital mixing board, a digital light board, a video projector and 6 ft. screen, microphones, DI boxes, cables, music stands and other basic technical items. Each piece will be given ample tech and rehearsal time with The Flea's technical director and staff. Only one proposal per composer will be accepted. Completed application and requested materials must be RECEIVED at The Flea no later than DEADLINE TBA. Please note that this is a receipt deadline! Materials received after that cannot be guaranteed full consideration. The application form is available in Microsoft Word by clicking HERE, and in PDF by clicking HERE. If you wish to be considered for Music With A View, you must submit a proposal, even if you think we already know your work. If you have any questions, please contact: Kathleen Supové, Curator, Music With A View @ The Flea kathyexploding@gmail.com or supove@supove.com All applicants will be notified by early September.
