Now in its third year, ACM's High School composer's workshop is an excellent opportunity for young musicians to work with a professional composer and write a piece of music to be perfomed and recorded by professional musicians.
Whether the student is already composing, considering a career in music, or is interested in learning to compose for the first time, this workshop provides the tools for success.
All students will receive:
- Nine three-hour sessions in which they work with ACM Executive Director Seth Boustead, and their classmates, to compose a new piece of music.
- Workshops with professional musicians who will be on hand to read through the works in progress, to demonstrate their instruments and to answer questions.
- A final performance of their finished pieces in Ganz Hall at Roosevelt University with a reception to follow
- A master class with an internationally recognized composer
- A professional quality CD recording of their finished work, to also be posted on the ACM website
- Free tickets to see the Chicago Symphony's MusicNOW concert of contemporary Classical music in the Fall of 2008
- Confidence in their ability to express themselves musically and to speak articulately about their music
