Bang on a Can Marathon

Open Call for Music

Bang on a Can is on the lookout for the newest and most adventurous new music from around the world. Bang on a Can organizes and sponsors a wide variety of events and concerts, including an all-day Marathon of new music.

We are looking for music for the Bang on a Can Marathon, People's Commissioning Fund, and other concerts. Instrumentation can be for small ensembles, composer-performers, our ensemble - the Bang on a Can All-Stars (cello, percussion, piano, electric guitar, bass, clarinets) or any other instrumentation.

Please send CDs (no scores). Include with the recording the name of the work, its instrumentation and duration, the name(s) of the performer(s) and the composer's name, address, phone number, and email address. DATs and DVDs or VHS videos are also okay.

Due to the large volume of submissions we receive, we cannot return them. If we choose your material, we will contact you.

Please send your submission to the following address:

"Open Call for Music"
Bang on a Can
80 Hanson Pl, Suite 701
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Open Call is a rolling process. Before every major event that Bang on a Can plans, all Open Call submissions that have been received are listened to. Feel free to send your material at any point and know that we will listen to everything.
