Dear Sun-Jun Kim,

Thanks for your interest.

This annual contemporary music festival takes place in Strasbourg, France, every year in June. This year the theme of the festival is "Korea", and all the general programmation is already done. 

I insist on the fact that it is NOT an electroacoustic music festival, but a contemporary-instrumental festival only.

Because Elektramusic collabores on different events with them, we can friendly include an electroacoustic and videoArt concert during this event, as a partnership.

This concert is curated and organised by Elektramusic, and just "inserted" in the festival.

There is no electroacoustic activities in the festival, no budget for it, and there is no "call for works" from the festival.

It will be a one hour concert I think, especially oriented to music+video works.

Because Elektramusic already received last years submissions from Korean composers for our "regular activities", it's now possible for us to set up an acousmatic concert dedicated to corean works, beacause we already have some interestig works to do a selection. Elektramusic staff will of course do the programmation and the selection.

But in order to "open" a possible programmation and to have more works to listen, we invited composers to submit works if they want, in this "call for korean works".

I will be of course interested to listen your submission,

Hope that helps,

Kind regards,

Paul Clouvel

Dear Paul Clouvel,

Thanks for the call for works of Korean composers, for which I am interested in submitting some pieces.

I have some questions that I hope you could answer.

Could you tell me more about this upcoming contemporary music festival dedicated to Korean creation? What is called, who is organizing this event, and when is it going to happen?

Will you be selecting pieces, or will there be a panel of jury for this selection?

Would it be possible for a curated concert proposal?

I look forward to hearing from you!

Again, thanks for this call—it is rare to see this kind of a very specific call, and as a Korean composer, I am very glad to see it.

Best regards,

Jun
