Overview of class
Composition Colloquium is a weekly forum for all composition students and any other interested students, faculty and staff. Presentations are made by renowned guests (composers and interpreters of new music), who represent a wide variety of compositional approaches and genres: electronic, multimedia, performance art, film music, etc.
The guest artists comprise approximately one-third of our meetings; the remaining meetings are reserved for student and faculty presentations, discussions of relevant issues, instrumental demonstrations, and readings of student pieces.
