Da Capo Chamber Players

Da Capo Chamber Player's Spring 2013 Residency, a Transformative Experience for Music Composition Students and Faculty

Posted September 10, 2013
The opportunity for music students to have their works rehearsed and read by an ensemble of Da Capo's caliber is rare for composition students, and the resulting recordings provide students with a lifelong component to their composition portfolio. Da Capo has a history of working with student composers. It was tremendously gratifying for the student composers to get a sense of their own works measured up to works by composition students throughout the country (answer: quite well).
