Collage New Music Fellows Program

Since 2014, Collage New Music has hosted an annual Collage Fellows program aimed at providing a student composer in the Boston region the opportunities to hone their craft of composition, develop skills in community engagement and receive behind-the-scenes administrative experience with how a contemporary music ensemble is run.

Each Collage Fellow receives a commission for a new work for Collage’s full sextet instrumentation to be premiered the following season. In addition, Fellow assists Collage's General Manager throughout the season in promoting the activities of Collage, including but not limited to interviewing composers who are being performed, creating articles on a subject of interest, and assisting during concerts.

The program is a terrific opportunity for composers to both get artistic exposure with Collage and also see firsthand how a new music organization operates. We look for a Fellow who is not only an inventive composer but also an engaging communicator and a conscientious colleague.

The fellowship is currently by nomination only from composition teachers in the greater Boston region. For more information, please contact Collage’s General Manager.
