Composition 

The composition program will be offered for young and young professional composers and arrangers with an interest in improving their skills and knowledge in composition, arranging, orchestration, music theater and contemporary music literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Led by composer and cellist Avery Waite (The Juilliard School), the class will focus on the completion of an assignment of a 2 to 5 minute piece for string quartet given in advance of the start of the program. Completed compositions will be read by faculty and advanced participants and several will be selected for public performance at the final concert. Outstanding compositions will be given consideration for performances in the United States. 

Built upon the success of the Iraq Young Composers Initiatives in 2012 and 2013, the 2015 program continues to be the only training available for Iraqi composers.
