Hello all, I hoping for input on the Curtis, Boston Conservatory and Eastman composition summer programs. I am new to this forum and have spent a good deal of time reading through some very informative posts on the topic of studying composition and summer programs.
In particular, the Curtis program ranges from age 14 to 22. I wonder how many high school composers attend? Does the faculty give equal attention to undergraduates as opposed to high school students? The Eastman website does not offer much information about what the program looks like for composers. Boston Conservatory has a little bit more information, but, again, any direct experience would be appreciated as to the faculty, content, social experience, atmosphere, etc.
Of course, one needs to be admitted so any thoughts on the competitiveness of these options are also highly welcome!
My son is looking for a shorter program, so that rules out such options as Walden and Interlochen. Of course, we are also open to recommendations for other programs to consider either for this summer or next!
