About the Suncoast Composer Festival (SCF) and the Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program (SCFP):

Soundbox Ventures's inaugural Suncoast Composer Festival (SCF) includes events open to the Sarasota public on October 4th, 5th, and 7th. The Suncoast Composer Festival is the latest component of Soundbox’s Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program (SCFP), established in 2022 as a private residency for early-career composers to work with world-class mentors and performers/recording artists. This year’s festival will be the Fellowship’s first public showcase after two closed sessions in September 2023 and 2024.

The Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program brings the work of important early-career composers to Sarasota. Through SCFP, the city serves both as an exciting early staging ground for new musical work that will go on to national and international acclaim as well as a meeting place in which composers and preeminent performers can form important working relationships. By opening the residency to public performances and seminars this year, audiences will have a special opportunity to see how performers and composers think and address important and sometimes existential questions facing classical music today.
