Call for New Works
The School of Music & Theatre at Heidelberg University and Heidelberg New Music Association are pleased to announce a Call for New Works written by artists currently attending high school in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, or Pennsylvania. Heidelberg’s Call for New Works encompasses works for choir, symphonic band, chamber ensembles, and soloists.

The Call for New Works is part of the School of Music and Theatre’s Honor Festival, offering high school students the opportunity to perform with our Honor Choir and Band. The SMT Honor Festival is an artistic exploration of Heidelberg University’s MLK Jr. Day ON!, a day of celebration, reflection and giving back to the community. New Work submissions need to reflect on and/or portray themes of Community, Inclusivity, and Belonging as shown through the diverse and expressive lens of music and theatre.
