During the festival days you can contact us at staff@highscorefestival.com. For urgent inquiries you can contact our production assistant Fabrizio Nastari via Facebook Messenger.
- During the composition colloquium you present yourself: it can be your background, a presentation of your work and/or of techniques/issues you are researching. Listenings and videos are of course allowed and people very often use slides. A teacher leads the discussion. Leave time for comments!
- In case during your presentation you wish to show a video or to share an audio, please upload them to some external service (YouTube, Vimeo, Google drive, etc.) and share the link in the chat. We can then do a countdown and everyone listens on their own computer for better sound and video!
- When you enter the Zoom meeting please use your complete name.
- Please make sure you mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
- Please, if you can, keep the camera on. Here you can find the official festival virtual background (not mandatory!).
- You will be contacted directly by the performers for the rehearsals of your music.
- The Zoom sessions will NOT be recorded.
