Crowden's John Adams Young Composers program was founded in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams, who has a long association with Crowden, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The heart of our mission is to guide and mentor our students through the formative stages of their creative growth as composers.

Weekly private composition lessons to be scheduled by mutual arrangement
This fun and creative workshop for young composers of all levels, students write a piece of chamber music for strings, with or without piano. Our accomplished faculty and guest artists provide guidance and feedback as participants hone their work. The camp culminates in a public performance of student works by professional musicians.
Daily classes include an exploration of traditional and contemporary chamber music, as well as discussions of composition techniques and instrument demonstrations. In addition, each student receives a weekly hour-long private lesson with our expert faculty.
Come create something! Beginners welcome.
