Hello,
I wanted to let you know about a new program for young composers (generally ages 15-19 but we can be flexible) at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The program is July 13-19, 2003. We're very excited about what we have to offer the students. There's more specific info about the program below which can be forwarded to interested students. Also, the website has info and application forms:

Best wishes - hope to see many of you apply!

THE YOUNG COMPOSERS PROGRAM AT CIM
The Young Composers Program at CIM will take place July 13-19 at the Cleveland Institute of Music.The program will have cles in compositional craft, individual and small-group lessons with the faculty, and listening sessions where we discuss great musical repertoire of the past 50 years. The centerpiece of the program is the preparation, public performance, and CD recording of a work by each student. Each student will work with the YCP Ensemble (a professional ensemble comprised of flute, violin, cello, and piano) to prepare the performance of his or her piece, with coaching from the faculty. The faculty will include Peter Gilbert, Orianna Webb and Dr. Margaret Brouwer, head of CIM"s composition department.
This is a wonderful opportunity for young composers to get a lot of exposure to new music, some insight into how they can continue to grow, and a terrific performance of their music, plus get tools that will be helpful with college or conservatory applications in composition. The program packs a lot of activities into a just week, making it quite affordable compared to other similar programs.
