COLLAGE COMPOSERS COLLOQUIUM ANNOUNCEMENT

Collage New Music is sad to announce that, in response to Tuesday’s declaration by Governor Charlie Baker of a Massachusetts state of emergency, and with awareness of increasing reports of event cancellations over concerns about COVID-19 (coronavirus), we have made the difficult decision to postpone our concert that was scheduled for Sunday, March 29 and the 2020 Collage Composers Colloquium (CCC).

We will plan to reschedule this program, entitled From Inside to Out, Secreted and Revealed, as part of our 2020-2021 concert season. This is a difficult time for everyone, including all of our musical organizations, and we appreciate your understanding and support.  

Thank you very much.

Join Collage New Music on March 29, 2020, for an event-filled day that begins with a composition workshop, and concludes with the ensemble’s evening concert. The day provides opportunities for emerging young composers to meet and share ideas with each other, and benefit from observations of their own music by guest composers Yu-Hui Chang and Peter Child.

Registered participants may submit a recent work to be considered for a masterclass with Yui-Hui Chang and Peter Child. From the applications, several composers’ works will be chosen for discussion. All registered participants will receive admission to the CCC, pizza dinner, a Collage mug, pre-concert talk, and a ticket for the evening’s concert. While registration for the CCC will remain open on a rolling basis, entries must be submitted by March 13, 2020, to be considered for the masterclass.
