New Music WorkshopApply Now
June 18 — June 26

The philosophy behind Norfolk's New Music Workshop is equal collaboration between composers and performers under the supervision of distinguished resident composers and guest Artist-Faculty. Fellows take part in a rigorous curriculum of coaching, master classes, rehearsals, discussions and performances. Ample time is allowed for composing and practicing.

The Workshop is interactive in the truest sense, focusing on the process of musical creation and collaboration from concept to concert. Each composer writes a new work and collaborates on its composition with performers over the course of two weeks. All compositions are performed and recorded.

Space is available for up to five talented composers and six instrumentalists. Instrumentation for the Workshop this year is: clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), trombone, piano (doubling synthesizer), percussion, violin (with electric possibilities) and double bass (doubling electric bass).
