Student and faculty composers meet weekly for composition seminars to discuss issues related to musical materials, imagination, design, aesthetics, and compositional techniques with leaders in the field from across the globe.
Seminar meetings during the 2022 Winter Quarter will take place in the Logan Center for the Arts Penthouse on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:20 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
When artists are joining via Zoom, students are still expected to meet in-person in the Penthouse except for seminar on January 18, which will be fully remote.
Refreshments will be served.
