Acadia University’s Young Composers Workshop is a one-day intensive for young musicians aged 13 to 18 who are interested in writing original music. Hosted by the Acadia University School of Music (AUSOM), this hands-on experience introduces students to the creative process of composition through workshops, improvisation, personalized guidance, peer discussion, and a masterclass with a university composition professor and Juno Nominated composer, Peter-Anthony Togni, offering students insight into university-level composition study and professional perspectives on developing their musical ideas.
 
This workshop is ideal for young musicians who are curious about composition or looking to strengthen their creative skills in a supportive and collaborative environment. Prior composition experience is welcome but not required.
