Graduate Composer Mentorship Opportunity
SCI is pleased to announce the opening for submissions to the Graduate Composer Mentorship Program. Graduate-level composers are invited to submit a chamber work for detailed feedback from 3 commentators as part of SCI’s Graduate Composer Mentoring Opportunity, chamber music focus. This is a significant benefit of SCI membership and can provide a greater breadth of feedback on your work than you might receive in your graduate program alone. In addition, there will be regional and national recognition and modest monetary awards for the highest-rated pieces.
To apply, please visit the google form here.
