What is the Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program?
The Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program brings together a community of performers and composers who interact with the Sarasota community and bring the enthusiasm of our music-making to all corners of the globe. At the same time, the program addresses certain urgent questions that face music-making in the 21st century. For example, how can we introduce and lift the voices of wonderful composers today to more communities around the world? After new music is premiered, they often collect dust on the shelves. How do we bring these works into our music-making today? What tools do we need to become advocates for music of our times?
The planning of the upcoming SCFP workshop and conference, titled “Music and Storytelling” is now underway. For more information about the specific programs, please visit the designated session pages which will be available starting on January 25, 2025.
