This Week at the College of Music: Student Edition - Oct. 6, 2022

The composition department’s Emerging Composers Project (ECP)—an initiative of our College of Music in partnership with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and Skyline High School, among other area high schools—seeks to empower pre-college students of diverse backgrounds through close mentorship with CU Boulder graduate students in the field of music composition. The ECP is a 2021-2022 CU Boulder Outreach Award Recipient (CU Boulder Office for Outreach + Engagement). Check out the video and congrats to Professor of Composition Carter Pann!
