Nadia Boulanger is among the foremost master teachers of composition. Influencing many of the world's illustrious composers of the 20th century, she demanded of all her students a profound mastery of the fundamental crafts of composition.
From her teaching was born a new generation of musicians furthering and perfecting her pedagogy and vision.
The Summer Composition Program is a haven for serious study. Style is put aside in order to focus on developing the necessary tools to forge one's own musical voice.
Guest Faculty for 2009 TBA.
Previous guest composers have included
Sofia Gubaidulina, Robert Beaser, Claude Baker, Samuel Adler, Lukas Foss, and David Diamond.
