2024 ITG Call for New Works

The ITG New Works Committee would like to invite composers and performers to submit compositions for the New Works Recitals at the 2024 ITG Conference in Anaheim, California (May 28th – June 1st, 2024). Submissions will be accepted from June 2023 through the deadline of August 15th, 2023.

To be considered, works must feature trumpet in a prominent role as soloist or co-soloist and be appropriate for a recital setting. To allow for a wide range of possibilities, this call does not specify instrumentation, but please note that compositions of unusual duration or instrumentation may face extra-musical hurdles if selected by the New Works Committee. To be eligible, submissions must have been composed within three years of the above submission deadline and should be un-premiered or have received only limited exposure. 

Compositions may be submitted by a composer individually or by a trumpeter in partnership with a composer. If you are submitting multiple works, please submit each work separately. To involve as many individuals as possible, composers can only have one work performed each year, and performers can only perform one selection each year. In addition, composers and performers who have not been selected for New Works in the past three years will be given priority over previous winners. If submitted by a composer alone, the ITG New Works Committee will select a trumpeter for the chosen work. Inclusion of a work on a New Works Recital does not imply any financial obligation of the ITG, beyond providing a collaborative pianist to perform. Works calling for instruments other than or in addition to piano will require that the composer/performer supply those additional performers. Selected trumpeters are required to register for the conference and are responsible for all costs, including registration. Works will be reviewed by the New Works Committee, and notification of inclusion on the recital will be made by October 1, 2023. 

To submit a work for consideration, please use the following 2024 New Works Submission Form. Submissions will no longer be accepted via email. To be eligible, a PDF of the score and a recording or MIDI file in mp3 format must be submitted. If you have any questions, please contact Marisa Youngs, Chair of New Works, at newworks@trumpetguild.org.
