LAM hosts innovative composition workshop

We are excited to host Longleash trio and Dr. Allison Ogden in their new program the Pipeline Initiative: an introductory composition workshop for high school age instrumentalists from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the field of composition.

"As new music specialists, we are confronted with the many inequities and imbalances in the field of composition on a daily basis. With the Pipeline Initiative, we hope to address one very small part of the systemic inequities that exclude certain groups in our society from acts of cultural production. This program will provide students with the artistic tools to articulate and amplify their musical perspective, through a craft-based approach intended to get students composing in a cognizant way, regardless of what form their chosen mode of musical expression may ultimately take."
