Concert Programming Masterclass Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome! We’re very excited to have you onboard for our first Concert Programming Masterclass. We’ve been working diligently over the past few months preparing a curriculum and schedule that will optimize our time together in January. We received over 50 applications, and have confirmed 14 students total for the class. The following page is going to give a brief overview of what to expect in a little more detail, as well as a survey to answer some questions before you arrive.
SCHEDULE
We have a lot of ground that we are going to cover in a short amount of time, so these three days will be fairly packed! We will start at 09:00, and work until around 19:00.
We ask that you arrive around 08:30 so that we can all be settled and ready to go at 09:00.
On Friday we will be hosting an informal hangout with dinner & drinks, giving everyone a chance to ask further questions, and get to know each other a little better. Throughout the 3 days and particularly during this time on Friday, we will have many of our friends and colleagues stopping by, giving everyone a chance to connect.
Below is a brief overview of what to expect each day. We will review this in more detail on Wednesday morning.
