COLLAGE COMPOSERS COLLOQUIUM

Presented by Collage New Music and the Longy School of Music

An event-filled day that brings together composers in the greater Boston region for workshops and talks. The Colloquium provides opportunities for composers to meet and share ideas with each other, and to benefit from observations on their own music by mentor composers.

Participants may submit a recent work to be considered for the workshop sessions; from the applications, several composers' works are chosen for discussion with the mentor composers.
