Echo Into the Void Orchestration Consortium 2026
  The Orchestration of A New Work for Contrabass Trombone & Orchestra/Concert Band
Nicole Buetti – Composer
John Ohnstad – Consortium Lead
Consortium Details​

A consortium is when a group of people join together to support a new music project.  Consortium Performance Members are the first group that can perform the new work and introduce it to the world.  Consortium Support  Members can take pride in the fact that this piece of music would not exist without their contribution! 

Thank you for your interest in supporting this project to orchestrate this work for Contrabass Trombone!

You can listen to the Contrabass Trombone and Piano version here:

ECHO INTO THE VOID & BACK TO THE LIGHT

 

Objective

To fully orchestrate the work Echo Into the Void & Back to the Light. We are looking to expand the work into a dual-orchestration project designed as a Concerto for Contrabass Trombone with BOTH Symphony Orchestra and Concert Band.

 

Dedication

This work is dedicated to Jeffrey Reynolds, Bass and Contrabass Trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (retired) and an inspiration for generations of musicians.

 

Details of the Work

Instrumentation: Contrabass Trombone and Symphony Orchestra & Contrabass Trombone and Concert Band

3 Movement Work: Discovery, Reflection, Joy

Length: 14 minutes in length​​

SUPPORT  Consortium Members will Receive:

  • Your name will appear in the sheet music as a consortium member who made this project possible

  • An invitation to the World Premiere of the newly orchestrated work.

  • A PDF copy of the score (with your name in it!) for your collection  (either band or orchestra.)

  • When a Recording of the work becomes available, you will receive a link to download the recording.

PERFORMANCE Consortium Members will Receive:

  • Your name will be listed as a Performance Consortium Member/Orchestration Consortium Member on the score. 

  • A PDF copy of the score for your library (either band or orchestra.)

  • A single performance(series) with a single entity. An "Entity" is defined as a Symphony Orchestra/Concert Band that you make performance arrangements with for your performance.  Standard practice is where the entity (Symphony Orchestra/Concert Band) purchases or rents the parts for the performance directly from the composer.  When arrangements have been made with the Entity, the composer will supply the Entity with a special code for a complimentary download of the Score and Parts. This offer does not have an expiration.  Entity must report the performance to Performance Rights Organizations (PRO's) such as ASCAP or SESAC. After the performance with the Entity of your choice is completed, future performances (for Symphony/Concert Band) with different Entities will need to make arrangements to purchase the score and parts from NicoleBuetti.com

    • When you have been booked to perform the piece with an ensemble, please provide the name of the ensemble and date of the performance.  Nicole's Company - Goes to Eleven Media - will reach out to the orchestra/band with a special coupon code that will allow them a complimentary copy of the Score and Parts (PDF form) for your performance.  (For additional performances, please refer the ensemble to Nicole's website - NicoleBuetti.com - for purchase of score and parts.)​
