Cultivate ◆ Create ◆ Celebrate

Program Chair Zara Lawler and Assistant Program Chair Meret Bitticks welcome all concerto proposals for the 2027 NFA Convention. Special consideration will be given to concertos matching or closely related to the themes for this Convention: Cultivation, Creation, and Celebration.  

We are looking for concerto proposals that create new connections, cultivate existing ones, or celebrate our communities beyond the Convention. We are particularly interested in concerto proposals that: 

• Emphasize our connectedness as a diverse flute community, or illuminate our connectedness to the wider world
• Feature multi-generational performances, and/or will be of interest to a multi-generational and multi-cultural audience 
• Have an interdisciplinary component
• Shine new light on community favorites, or expand our ideas of what a concerto is or can be
• Are creative and fun!

Let’s connect in 2027 to cultivate, create, and celebrate!

Please submit a video or audio link (e.g. YouTube, Spotify, website) of a performance of the concerto. If you are not the soloist in this performance, please submit a representative audio or video sample of your performance of a work in a similar style. Please also submit a score of the concerto.

If the work has not yet been performed, please submit a digital audio file of the piece, as well as a representative audio or video sample of your playing.

Flexibility of orchestration may be a consideration. 

Note: You MUST hold an NFA membership to submit a proposal. Learn more about becoming an NFA member.
