DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 21, 2024! Register for our first ever Young Composers Seminar! Richmond Symphony and VCUarts are proud to share this special opportunity for young composers. Join acclaimed composer Damien Geter on the journey from inspiration to performance next season as he leads a cohort of young composers through a unique musical experience.

Eligible to students in grades 9–12 during the 2024–25 school year, our young composers will gather monthly both in person and online to share and workshop their projects with Damien and each other, culminating in a special live performance in May 2025.

Whether you think of yourself as a composer or not, students interested in directly participating in the process of creating new music are encouraged to apply. Formal training in composition is not required.

To apply, please complete the application form on our website and submit up to three examples of your creative work by Friday, June 21, 2024.
