Abstract
Composer Kurt Rohde and Yu-Hui are to be the guest composers at the Composers Conference from July 28 to August 11, 2019. Currently in its 75th season, the Composers Conference has been led for nearly 50 years by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Mario Davidovsky. It boasts a top-notch Conference Ensemble, directed by James Baker, which consists of more than 30 musicians specializing in new music performance. In addition to concerts and workshops for composition fellows, the Composers Conference offers opportunities for conservatory-level musicians and amateur chamber players through its Contemporary Performance Institute (CPI) and Chamber Music Workshop programs. After 35 years at Wellesley College, the Composers Conference relocated to Brandeis University in summer 2018. This is the third time Yu-Hui is invited as the conference’s guest composer.
