Composers Forum

The weekly assembly provides a venue for musicians to discuss topics relevant to the field of composition. The convention of diverse ideas and perspectives provides composers at all stages of their development with valuable resources for artistic development. The Forum enables students to learn from one another in a variety of ways: exploring new musical ideas, encountering various composition techniques, exposing oneself to a mixture of viewpoints, and participating in broad-based discussions.
