About The Call
We continue our series of Calls with the launch of the
Call for Chamber Music Recordings - Composers
to discover ideas, compositions & music that would otherwise remain unheard.
Call for Chamber Music Recordings - Composers
to discover ideas, compositions & music that would otherwise remain unheard.
RMN Classical is on a mission to promote and nurture the contemporary music scene. After having already discovered many talented composers and performers, RMN hopes to discover new music that rightly deserves to be listened more.
This opportunity is open to composers that own recordings (both live or studio) of their own chamber music works and would like to get the opportunity to see the works published in a contemporary music album produced to showcase and promote contemporary music.
[ If you are a performer or ensemble and own recordings of Chamber Music (not only contemporary), we’ll open a specific call for works for you soon ]
The best works will be featured in a top quality album that will be produced by RMN Classical and released worldwide through RMN Music. This release will be distributed on a high-quality edition on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, and many other stores and platforms. Please check our catalogue to see our previous and upcoming releases. Optionally and based on demand there will be the possibility for physical distribution too. The release and the winning works will also be added to the Sound and Music Archive of the prestigious British Library (London, UK) and more prizes will be offered.
