About the event
Classical composers are always looking for texts to set... but there’s more available to the enterprising poet than just granting rights to stuff you’ve already written. In this 2-hour crash course, you’ll study texts, learn to read like a composer, gather tips for entering into a true collaboration, and set yourself up to create powerful custom texts that really sing... resonating well beyond a premiere, and landing you commission after commission.
