September Retreat

September 11-16, 2025

for early to mid-career composers

A group of 16 early to mid-career composers will be selected for a new 4-day residency on our beautiful lakeside campus in Central Vermont. Composers will work closely with our featured performers, receive a high-quality recording and public performance of one of their works, and network with colleagues from around the country.

 

Programming will include:

Recording and public performance of one of your works (10-minute duration maximum) by our renowned performers.

Networking and professional development discussions

Composition pedagogy sessions

Nightly concerts on site and in the community

Time to compose or hike/swim/kayak each day

 

Children and partners are invited to join. There will be family-friendly and adult-only housing options. There is a small beach with boats and a floating dock and badminton/basketball/ping pong/board games. It is possible to extend your residency for an additional 3 days (September 9-11) to work or relax. All participants are expected to stay on campus.
