International Summer Music Academy (ISAM)
Monday July 19th through Friday July 30th, 2010
Dillon, Colorado
The International Summer Academy of Music in Dillon is an expansion of the successful European ISAM workshops in Michelstadt and Ochsenhausen, Germany. The institution was created with a vision that the summer academy would offer young composers and music educators an opportunity to gain an intense musical experience and flourish in the environment of creativity and collaboration with musicians from different cultural and musical backgrounds.
ISAM’s 12-day workshop deepens musical skills and expands compositional horizons. ISAM encourages a coming-together of musical minds. The hallmarks of the Academy's training program are daily individual lessons and numerous performance opportunities, culminating in a composers contest judged by a distinguished team of jurors comprised of the faculty and invited guests. Prizes and scholarships are offered.
ISAM is limited to 18 composers. Acceptance is based on the applicant’s artistic potential and/or achievements, evaluated individually by the faculty. The small number of participants, coupled with a faculty that shares all meals and events, creates a rare collegial atmosphere, through which a constant flow of stimulating exchanges, occur. The gorgeous ambience of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in Dillon adds an inspiring backdrop to our creative activities.
Entrants wishing to apply to ISAM, should fill in the application form Application deadline is set for May 15, 2010. All applicants will be notified as to acceptance no later than June 15, 2010
