Call for Scores
The Student Symphony Orchestra would like to invite you to submit your original music to our annual Call for Scores competition!
DEADLINE: 10/30/2023 11:59 PM PDT [Pacific Daylight Time]
The Student Symphony Orchestra is an entirely student-run orchestra based at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Its purpose is to enrich and enhance its surrounding community by promoting equity, accessibility, and innovation in collaborative music-making. In pursuit of this purpose, the organization keeps concerts free of charge to all audiences, strives to maintain inclusive membership policies, actively diversifies its repertoire, and develops novel artistic initiatives.
Please familiarize yourself with the Call for Scores guidelines before submitting. Composers may submit as many works as they choose so long as they pay a separate entry fee ($15) for each piece submitted and fill out multiple forms. The entry fee will be dedicated to programming and performing music by AAPI and supporting the Student Symphony Orchestra’s musical pursuits. You may request a fee waiver due to financial hardship by emailing ssousccompetitions@gmail.com. Selected works will be performed in the 2023-2024 season.
