Gamba Gamut at BEMF

CALL FOR GAMBA GAMUT SUBMISSIONS IS EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, MAY 9th!

The VdGSA's Gamba Gamut, a regular event at the biennial Boston Early Music Festival, will be online like the rest of the festival this year! VdGSA Members may apply to perform in the Gamut as soloists (up to 5 minutes of pre-recorded video performance) or in ensembles (up to 10 minutes, if at least two of the performers are VdGSA members).

Full guidelines are listed below. We recommend that interested performers screen their planned contribution with Erik Andersen (erik.christian.andersen@gmail.com) for approval. The submission deadline for completed video is FRIDAY, MAY 9th. The anonymous Gamba Gamut committee will select from submitted videos and create a continuous concert program.
