NEXT Ensemble is excited to announce the formation of a new composer collective! NEXT Collective will create opportunities for local composers to meet with other creatives and collaborators, workshop new pieces, and have pieces commissioned and featured in NEXT Ensemble concerts.
Why?
-Composers need feature opportunities. You shouldn't have to live in New York to have your pieces played professionally! I often hear artists talk about what they would be if they lived in a cultural hub. Utah doesn’t have to be such a dry place for composers. We can build a community for new music. This is an opportunity for all ages and experience.
- Foster a community for young composers as well as experienced composers.
What?
-A Community of local composers
-Monthly gatherings (where we share projects and help each other improve.)
-Workshops
- Showcases
-Discussions
-Demonstrations
-Commission fair
-Lectures on current composers around the world as well as current composing techniques.
-Jam Sessions
