About the Program
Each spring, talented high-school student composers in the greater Twin Cities area will be selected to work with The Schubert Club's composer-in-residence Edie Hill for the coming academic year.
The mentorship involves monthly individual sessions, as well as opportunities for the group to get together as a whole. Specific topics and the times of the individual sessions are arranged jointly, based on each student's interests and availability, and may deal with: notation, guided listening, composition, and repertoire. Group meetings will occasionally include attendance at local performances, rehearsals, and workshops. In addition, a piece by each composer apprentice will be considered for performance on The Schubert Club's Thursday Courtroom Concert series, and each apprentice will receive a complimentary one-year membership to the American Composers Forum.
The mentorship program is offered free of charge to each selected composer and is sponsored in part by HRK Foundation.
