Hoff-Barthelson / Copland House Commissions

In an ongoing collaboration with the Hoff-Barthelson Music School in nearby Scarsdale, NY, one commission is offered annually to a Copland House resident to create a brief, intermediate-level composition for a student chamber ensemble. The composer coaches the student performers as they prepare the work for its premiere at Hoff-Barthelson’s spring New Music Festival. He/she may also co-direct a workshop session in the school’s Compose Yourself program that encourages musical creativity in young people.
