Event Details
Compositions selected for the event will be rehearsed and workshopped with one or more area composers and then performed on a showcase concert the following day. Students will have an opportunity to explain their composition before it is performed and will receive a high quality recording of the performance after the concert.
Please see our Composition Resources page for tips and suggestions for structuring your composition. Students are encouraged to seek help and guidance from their teachers and other musicians. The submitted work must be primarily original material composed by the student(s). Works with more than one student composer are allowed.
