Additional players can be provided at the expense of the composer. Piano costs may include rental and tuning fees. Wind doublings and extra players are possible, but costs incurred will be paid by the selected composer. Work with soloists will be considered. In the case of vocal soloists, piano, guitar, etc., the soloists will be provided by the composer without cost to the Victoria Symphony.
Works employing electronics, MIDI, and digital technology will be considered. The orchestra, however, may not be amplified. Any and all electronics must be provided by the composer without cost to the Victoria Symphony.
All successful composers must be prepared to provide professional, legible orchestral parts and conductor score prepared according to guidelines established by the Canadian Music Centre. Parts and scores must be double-sided, bound (book format) and string parts bowed.
