The Student Composer Masterclass features the compositions of young and emerging composers performed by a local professional musician. Following the performance, a discussion-based masterclass will be led by 2025 guest composer Terri Hron.
Masterclass participants are invited to submit their original compositions for professional performance and discussion, while being exposed to various styles, ideas, and repertoire.
- Suggested duration for the compositions is between 5 and 10 minutes, and should be notated with a music notation software program. If the music is handwritten, it must be legible.
- The masterclass has time allotment for a maximum of 5 participants.
- Composers of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate.
- There is no fee to participate.
- Pieces written for solo piano will be performed in the masterclass with a professional musician. For
- pieces written for other instrumentation, we ask that the composers submit a computer rendered playback of the composition, to be played during the masterclass.
To register, please send a PDF of your composition, in addition to your name and age to Paul Suchan at artisticdirector@stratafest.com by Sunday, June 1st.
