SPLICE is excited to announce a call for performances for its tenth annual SPLICE Institute. The Institute will take place at Western Michigan University from June 23-29, 2024, with a special concert of SPLICE alumnx on Thursday, June 27th. SPLICE welcomes proposals from past SPLICE participants (performers, composers, composer/performer teams, and composer-performers) for works that feature human-driven live performance (on traditional or nontraditional instruments) and electronics (fixed or live).
While all proposals are welcome, preference will be given to those pieces that feature multiple SPLICE alumnx (for example, a former performance participant playing a work by a former composer participant).
