This unique six-weeks
program is held in collaboration with NYU Technology Program. Open for
undergraduate and graduate student composers, the program offers the individual
young composer, the opportunity to write a new work under one of the following
categories:
an instrumental composition of 1-7 players (intrumentation to be chosen)
an interactive electro-acoustic piece
an electronic composition
The tentative ensemble
available this summer:
ICIA Ensemble: Flute
(also picc, alto & bass fl), Clarinet (also Bass Cl.), Trumpet, Trombone,
Violin, Cello, Piano
In addition the students
will meet several visiting composers and performers in lectures, and in music
performances.
The work of the students
will be rehearsed, performed and recorded by our experienced contemporary music
musicians. The dress rehearsal and final concert are recorded and edited for a
CD in the final week, by a team of professors and students from the Temmer
Tonmeister Program.
Each student will receive
2 copies of the final edited CD, containing his/her work, or upon request, all
of the works performed and recorded in the class concert.
There is a $250 fee,
collected for the hiring of the professional ensemble, as well as for the
recording sessions.
Student composers are also
encouraged to enroll also in the Advanced Instrumental Conducting
(E85.2096). It provides an intensive training in the techniques and stylistic
perception of Classic, Romantic and Contemporary repertoire. It is also a very
important class for the film and music theater composers.
