2013 CABRILLO COMPOSERS WORKSHOP
MARCH 1 SCORE SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS PASSED - NOTIFICATION WILL BE MADE BY MARCH 31.
If you are a composer 30-years-old or younger, you are invited to submit an orchestral score for consideration for the 2013 Cabrillo Composers Workshop, July 27 thru 31.
Led by Maestra Marin Alsop, the Cabrillo Conductors/Composers Workshop brings together leading faculty, the award-winning Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, and early career conductors and composers for a professional training program that focuses on the creation and performance of new music. The five-day program is held in downtown Santa Cruz, California, and involves 3 selected composers, 7 participating conductors, and up to 15 auditing conductors.
Now in its thirteenth season, this workshop is presented in collaboration with the international Conductors Guild. Maestra Alsop and Maestro Gustav Meier serve as faculty for the Conductors Workshop sessions, and composer Kevin Puts joins them as faculty for the Composers Workshop. All student conductors and composers participate for the full five days of the program, which takes place in the context of the Cabrillo Orchestra's rehearsal and performance schedule.
Selected composers will have their work conducted by participating conductors, under the direction of Marin Alsop, and performed by members of the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra. Three dedicated rehearsals will take place, culminating with an "In the Works" concert where each piece will receive two or three performances. Composers will receive recordings from the final concert. Composing faculty will offer guidance and seminars throughout, other Festival composers-in-residence (to be announced) will participate, and direct feedback will be offered from the players and conductors.
Further details about the program and the submission process are outlined below.
Composers are invited to submit ONE score only, recording (MIDI versions are acceptable), and a resume to arrive no later than March 1, 2013. Materials may be mailed or sent digitally, as specified below. After reviewing the details outlined below, if you have any questions or wish to discuss the program in greater detail, please feel free to contact Lyndsey Groth, Director of Operations and Programs of the Cabrillo Festival at 831.426.6966 or via email at
