A project of the AMF Institute's Center for New Music, the pre-college composition program, is a summer intensive for composers under 18.
During the six weeks, composers gain valuable experience through weekly lessons, daily seminars, and masterclasses. Each participant works toward the goal of premiering a new work written for one of our resident ensembles.
