CALL FOR SCORES

​

discovering talent around the world

​

Duo Signal organises an international Call for Scores, aiming to commission works to selected composers. This initiative allows us to discover unexpected proposals and new ways of understanding the musical phenomenon. Our Call for Scores promotes extraordinarily talented composers who maybe have not yet achieved renown.
