Collage New
Music’s Partners in Performance
program brings cutting edge new music into New
England schools. A typical Partners event features
a session in which the musicians of CNM read
and critique student compositions in an informal
workshop setting, followed by a performance
of music from the CNM repertoire, often including
commentary by Music Director David Hoose and
the composer, as well as demonstrations by the
performers.
Partners in Performance programs are tailored
to meet the needs of each host school, ranging
from one-hour concerts suitable for in-school
assemblies to day-long affairs involving sessions
with several groups of students and other members
of the school community.
In all cases, programs are designed to bring
students into close contact with composers and
performers of cutting-edge new music.
To inquire about arranging a Partners in
Performance event at your school, please
contact Danny Lichtenfeld at (617) 325-5200
or danny@collagenewmusic.org.
Collage New Music’s Partners in Performance
program is underwritten by a gift from Stephen
and Peg Senturia.

Hello
Collage,
I'm a Milton Academy Student, and I just wanted
to say thank you so much for coming last Thursday.
Due to my class schedule I was only able to make
it to the afternoon session, but that was absolutely
incredible. I tried to describe it to a friend later
and when I told her that you guys fell somewhere
between Mahler and Pink Floyd being played by super-talented
musicians I realized that I hadn't come even close
to doing justice to what you all performed. Again,
thank you so much.
All my best,
Rebecca A. Wilsker
Milton Academy Senior
First Flutist
