ACO and Jacobs School of Music are seeking composers to participate in workshops aimed toward developing new works that expand the definitions and experiences surrounding American orchestral music.
The first round of activities will take place in Bloomington, IN, March 25-27, 2025, offering selected participants the opportunity to develop orchestral compositional sketches in collaboration with established orchestral composers and industry leaders, as well as renowned faculty at the Jacobs School of Music.
Over the course of these workshops, select composers will be invited to return to Jacobs School of Music in October of 2025 to participate in EarShot Readings, offering participants the opportunity for the works developed during the spring 2025 workshops to be rehearsed, performed, and recorded by Jacobs School of Music musicians.
Eight (8) composers will be selected for the March 2025 workshops, with four (4) composers advancing to the October 2025 EarShot Readings.
