The New-Music Consortium, University of South Florida’s student-run new music organization, has named Sergio Blardony (Spain) and Gintas Kraptavičius (Lithuania) the winners of the 2019 International Call for Scores. The selected works will be performed on the New-Music Consortium’s April 5th concert at the University of South Florida’s School of Music. The concert will take place at 7:30pm in USF’s Barness Recital Hall and is free and open to the public. The New-Music Consortium announced their call for scores during the fall of 2018 and received 175 submissions from 40 countries. The call for scores was open to composers of all ages and all career stages, with the categories of acoustic chamber music and electronic music. Through a blind judging process, the members of the New-Music Consortium selected one winning work in each category.

It will be within the program 36 of Synchresis that is celebrated in the II Cultural Week of the CPM "Manuel Carra" of Malaga.
