About the Program

Each spring, talented high-school student composers in the greater Twin Cities area will be selected to work with The Schubert Club's composer-in-residence Edie Hill for the coming academic year. The mentorship involves individual sessions held every other week, as well as opportunities for the group to get together as a whole.

Specific topics and the times of the individual sessions are arranged jointly, based on each student's interests and availability, and deal with: notation, guided listening, composition, and repertoire. Group meetings will occasionally include attendance at local performances, rehearsals, and workshops. In addition, a piece by each composer apprentice will be performed by the Ensemble-in-Residence on The Schubert Club's Courtroom Concert series. Each apprentice will also receive a complimentary one-year membership to the American Composers Forum.

The mentorship program is offered free of charge to each selected composer and is sponsored in part by HRK Foundation.
