Composition Requirements

Composition applicants will submit no more than two compositions. Submissions of orchestral compositions are encouraged but are not required. A personal interview in Philadelphia may be required for candidates considered as finalists.

Manuscripts, to be sent by registered mail, must be postmarked between October 1 and December 17, 2012. Applicants must send copies of their work, not originals. Submission of tapes or CDs is encouraged but is not required. If you wish to have materials returned, include a postpaid envelope with the manuscripts. Please note that electronic music is not a part of the course of general study at Curtis.
