About the Composers Workshop:

The Composers Workshop is the main event of CNMF — a two-week program that selects about thirty emerging composers to work closely with world-class performers and distinguished faculty in the creation of new works for performance at the festival. Participants will hone their craft, build their professional networks, listen to a lot of exciting new music, receive valuable and pragmatic career advice, and much more.

Participation in the Composers Workshop includes:
- Two professional performances of your music: 1) A commissioned work written for the festival. 2) A speedwriting assignment, written and performed during the festival.
- Option to perform an additional piece on our “New Music Open Mic Night.”
- High-quality audio and video recording of the performances.
- Opportunity to work with guest musicians in rehearsing your music.
- Lectures by eminent guest composers and musicians.
- Two private lessons with guest composers.
- Admission to all festival concerts.
- Making new friends and being part of a supportive artistic community.
- New professional headshot photos for portfolio/website use [optional, no extra cost].
