ARCOSANTI COMPOSERS SEMINAR

California E.A.R. Unit Composer Residency and Seminar at Arcosanti

2008 Residency is Canceled as the group is taking a summer sabbatical.

August 6-11, 2007

Applications are now being accepted for the California EAR Unit Composer Residency and Seminar at Arcosanti, Meyer, Arizona

Arcosanti is an "urban ecology" built by master architect Paolo Soleri and is a perfect blend of the esthetics of form and design with the grandeur of the Arizona mesa as its backdrop. The Colly Soleri Music Center offers a wonderful acoustic amphitheater for the week long course which involves rehearsals, recordings, master classes, lectures/discussions and culminates in a concert of composers' works on Saturday with a special pre-concert gourmet dinner. Cost for the seminar is $650 (payable to Arcosanti) which includes room and board. Works may be preexisting or written for the California EAR Unit for the Seminar. EAR Unit instrumentation is flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussion (vibraphone, Glock, high oct. of crrotales, 4 toms, drum set, various cymbals will be available, please inquire if any other instruments are desired) or may be smaller combinations of those instruments. Other instrumentation cannot be considered.

To apply, send a representative score and recording (if available) and short biography or resume plus check for fifteen dollars (made to the California EAR Unit) to:
