The American Modern Ensemble is based in New York City and was formed in 2005 with the goal of premiering, performing and recording and commissioning the widest possible repertoire written by American composers. Our focus is to celebrate and showcase American music and especially works written by living composers. Occasionally, we choose one American composer to feature on a program devoted to his or her music. AME is also dedicated to education and outreach programs that expose communities to American music, and particularly to new music written by living composers.
Sinfonietta: flute (doubling alto flute and piccolo), clarinet (doubling bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet), oboe (doubling English horn), bassoon (doubling contra bassoon), horn, trumpet (C trumpet, B-flat trumpet and piccolo trumpets in E-flat and D), trombone, percussion, piano (doubling synthesizer), two violins, viola, violoncello, bass, conductor.
AME accepts unsolicited submissions on an ongoing basis, which we review during the last week of January each year. We strongly prefer receiving recordings as MP3 files (high quality MIDI recordings are OK). PDF scores may be emailed as well, particularly if recordings are not representative or do not exist. Materials may also be sent via postal mail.
You may submit up to three works, in order of listening preference, that best represent you and that fall within AME's instrumentation. Smaller subsets are acceptable. Please do not send parts unless requested. Be sure to include your contact information. All submissions will be thoroughly reviewed, but due to the volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of materials and they will not be returned.
Please email or send submissions to the address on our Contact Us page. USPS is preferred; do not send materials requiring a signature.
For more tips and suggestions on submitting materials, please read our Tips on Submitting Compositions to AME.
