Visiting Composers and Music Theorists
Each year we invite distinguised music theorists and composers to enrich our curriculum. The Housewright Scholar program allows us to fund a small number of week-long residencies; our visitors not only give a publiic lecture but also teach a variety of courses and offer master classes and/or private instruction. In almost every case, students are afforded the opportunity to interact with these scholars both formally and informally.
