The Composers Conference 80th Anniversary will be celebrated at Avaloch Farm Music Institute July 14-August 4, 2024. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

The Composers Conference nurtures the creation, performance, and appreciation of music, serving as a catalyst for conscientious creativity through shared wisdom, expertise, and diverse artistry.

The Composers Conference is a summer program that embraces collaborative music creation by musicians at the beginning of their careers, those that are well-established, and those for whom music is an important part of their lives.

“Founded 80 years ago, the Composers Conference has sought through learning and adapting, to serve as an inclusive, collaborative environment that promotes the exploration, invention, and performance of music at the highest levels. The Composers Conference knows and believes in the power of music to create a more compassionate, ethical, and equitable world.” -KURT ROHDE, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
