CANOE 2015 will be officially underway next week! The Composer Apprentice National Outreach Endeavor, also known by its acronym CANOE, will begin the student composer orientation sessions during the week of March 9th, followed by weekly private lessons thereafter.
Several hopeful composers are joining the ranks of our CANOE program, coming from Bowler High School, Gresham High School, and the Stockbridge-Munsee community. Participants are high school students and adults who will undergo rigorous training in composing written music, training occurring over several weeks, and culminating in a live performance of their finished compositions.
Special thanks go to our Bowler and Gresham high school faculty, who are assisting this new program: Alan Marquardt (Bowler H.S. Band), Amanda Hein (Bowler H.S. Chorus), Amy Doefer (Gresham H. S. Band), and Lee Clasen (Gresham H. S. Chorus). And, special thanks to Seong-Kyung Graham, conductor of the Civic Symphony of Green Bay. If all goes to plan, the finished compositions will be performed by the symphony at a future date (to be determined).
Advice to participants — find a ruler, sharpen those pencils, and get ready to immerse yourselves in the power of composing your own music!
