"Absolut Sounds of the City," New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s free outdoor summer music series, is seeking musicians to perform in its 2003 series of concerts. The concerts are held Thursdays, June through August, in Theater Square, NJPAC’s public plaza in downtown Newark.
Three groups are featured per evening, each performing one 45- to 60-minute set. An honorarium is given to each group selected. Artists are also given the opportunity to present and sell their CDs and tapes, and promote other upcoming area performances.
The Sounds of the City Committee is currently canvassing the area’s clubs and live music venues looking for groups for the fifth anniversary series. Musicians are required to submit an entry form along with a CD or cassette demo and basic biographical information no later than Jan. 15. The committee members will review the submissions, and groups will be selected and notified by mid-May. Groups are selected based on a combination of artistic integrity and NJPAC’s desire to represent a variety of music.
For more information or a submission form, call Elisabeth Ssenjovu at (973) 353-0057, e-mail [email protected], or download submission forms directly from www.njpac.org.
