A few notes on rehearsal times:

This schedule is very tight, and your cooperation in keeping us on schedule will help reduce stress for everyone. Naturally, there may be a little fluctuation in start times as rehearsals proceed. Rest assured that even if your rehearsal starts late, you will get your full amount of allotted time. We would rather begin a concert late than fail to provide our guests with adequate time for preparation.

Rehearsal times have been allotted as follows: 15 minutes for tape pieces (regardless of length) and 30 minutes for pieces involving live performers. Certain pieces with greater technical demands have been allowed 45 minutes. If you have a tape piece longer than 10 minutes, please be prepared to rehearse only selected parts of your work. We will do our best to allow a complete run-through, if possible. Note that there are also some early-morning and late-night times left empty: this is to allow us to accommodate guests who may want some extra time. If you are interesed in such extreme hours please inquire with Sam Hamm at sam@samhamm.com. Hours listed are the absolute limits of availability: the doors to the facility unlock at 7am and are locked precisely at midnight.

Please arrive 15 minutes early for your rehearsal time. This allows you to get a feel for the space and equipment, and discuss your needs with our staff as the rehearsal prior to yours is in progress. You may even get to start early if the rehearsal before yours concludes ahead of schedule.

Please direct any inquiries or comments to FEMF Associate Director Sam Hamm at sam@samhamm.com.

2. After March 24, composers may request an additional 30 minutes if available, which we will schedule as a block of an hour.

3. The exact Wednesday schedule will not be finalized until after March 24. Please make sure we are aware of your available times on that day, so that we may develop the schedule to maximize the convenience of everyone.
