Call for Scores is now open
Composers around the world are warmly invited to submit new music to the Festival’s Call for Scores project, an open submission process for new church music for composers of all ages and experience levels. Selected submissions will be performed at LFCCM 2020.
Churches and church musicians across London are warmly invited to take part in 2020’s Festival. It’s easy to participate – simply programme contemporary music at any one of your regular services taking place during the Festival period. Taking part in the Festival is a great way of expanding the breadth and variety of repertoire in your music programme, and helps foster the continuing composition of new music for the church.
