The only *free* summer program for high school composers! 

• live and learn on Mizzou's campus
• take lessons from esteemed faculty
• craft a totally new music composition
• hear it performed by a professional ensemble!

Activities include:

• Daily Notation, Instrumentation, and Repertoire Courses: Students will meet together at the Sinquefield Music Center each day for courses in notation, repertoire, and instrumentation, taught by MU’s world-class music composition faculty.
• Daily Private Composition Lessons: Each student will have daily one-on-one meetings with their composition instructor to get feedback on their works-in-progress.
• Workshops with Members of a Professional Ensemble: Professional musicians will host workshops demonstrating tips and tricks for instrumental writing, leading up to rehearsals and performances of each new composition to be premiered in concert on the final day of camp.
• Chamber Music Rehearsals: Students will attend rehearsals of their new piece, provide feedback, and learn how a professional ensemble approaches a new work, from rehearsal to a polished performance.
• Evening Activities: Our camp staff will provide fun group activities each evening.
• Lodging and Meals: Meals will be provided by the Mizzou Campus Dining Center. Housing for seven nights will be provided by Residential Life in University Housing.

All accepted students will be able to participate absolutely FREE thanks to the generosity of the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation. This will include accommodations and a meal plan for the duration of the camp.
