2025 SUMMER FESTIVAL
THE TRAINING FESTIVAL FOR COMPOSERS OF NEW MUSIC
Our flagship summer program provides early-career composers the opportunity to compose & premiere a new work, develop their craft, and take critical steps in their creative and career development under the guidance and mentorship of our world-class festival faculty and musicians.
The 2025 Festival has two parts: From July 1 - 10 composers participate in online lessons, workshops, and talks. Then from July 29 - August 2, participants join us at the Colburn School Conservatory in Los Angeles, California, for in-person rehearsals, conducting workshop, masterclasses, special events, and our culminating festival concert of premieres.
Applications open in December 30!
