The Composer Fellows participate in intensive seminars and public colloquia, and each has a work publicly performed and professionally recorded by the Conference Ensemble. The Chamber Music Workshop offers amateur musicians daily coachings, workshops, masterclasses, ensemble readings, performance opportunities and evening concerts.
