Under Construction Composers Program

About

Berkeley Symphony’s Under Construction Composers Program offers a rare and invaluable opportunity for emerging composers to further develop their skills and gain practical experience in writing for a professional orchestra. During the year-long program, each selected composer will workshop and complete one large symphonic work to be presented at the Under Construction concerts. They will regularly meet with program director Gabriela Lena Frank in private and small group sessions, receive feedback and orchestration lessons from music director Joana Carneiro and guest composers, as well as participate in workshops led by key orchestra members. Each composer will also receive a CD of the performance for their personal and non-commercial use.

 

Read about the insights and experiences of this season’s composers on the Under Construction blog! Stay up-to-date with the latest news and learn about the composing process as they prepare their pieces for each concert.
