This is a mixed genre event of music, poetry and art. It's a fantastic concept and has much audience appeal. There is a Saturday evening performance and Sunday afternoon perfomance as well. Poetry is read by a talented orator inbetween musical comps. While being read, art is displayed via large theater screen. It's amazing.
CALL FOR POETRY SUBMISSIONS – “THE ORCHESTRA UNLEASHED”
Deadline –August 20th
We are, once again looking for fantastic poetry to feature at the Orchestra Unleashed concert September 11th and 12th. Last March we featured works by many artists, poets (poetry read by performers) and living composers in the Mirrors of the Soul concert. It was a very successful event and, therefore, we are extremely encouraged to produce our next presentation for this September.
The selected poetry will be read by professional orators. They will perform the poetry between music compositions although there will be some poetry recited as part of a music composition. The poetic works are a vital part of this integrated artistic experience and are carefully paired to the music and art selections. All chosen poet’s names and contact information (and links) will be listed in the program. And they will receive 2 free tickets to the event! We invite you to submit your work and participate in this unique, creative event!
The Details:
The event will take place on September 11th and 12th at the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, California.
Poets may submit up to three (3) works each.
Please include a brief description of your work – how it was inspired or what you would like to inspire in the listener. Include your name, phone number and the medium of the piece(s).
Any medium is welcome though we would prefer not to include graphic violence or inappropriate language as we want to retain a family environment.
The deadline for submissions is August 15th. You will be notified if your poetry was chosen by August 25th.
For consideration, please email your work to dbaird.theorchestraunleashed.com. We also require submission of a modest processing fee of $10 to help us cover the substantial costs of producing an event of this scale. This can be submitted via PayPal to admin.theorchestraunleashed.com or via postal mail to:
The Orchestra Unleashed
1317 N San Fernando Blvd #334
Burbank, CA 91504-4272
