The Minnesota Orchestra Reading Sessions and Composer Institute offers a seven-day intensive immersion into the world of a major American symphony orchestra.

Under the guidance of composer Aaron Jay Kernis, up to nine composers will have orchestral works read by the Minnesota Orchestra and participate in a series of professional workshops on musical, career, and community outreach issues.

Composers will receive pre-reading consultations and post-reading composition mentoring with. Kernis. They will also meet with Orchestra members and attend small-group sessions with musicians and other leading music industry professionals.

The Institute will nurture the participants' musical acumen and broaden their career management skills, assisting in their growth as artists and community leaders.

Two national panels of prominent composers will review submitted scores and select the group of composer participants and alternates. The Minnesota Orchestra will provide composers' travel, hotel, and meal allowance.

Before sending submissions, composers must download and read the full guidelines and project proposal form. (See below.)
