Young Composers Seminar
Under the direction of Festival Resident Composer David Serkin Ludwig, the Young Composers Seminar brings together a group of virtuoso and already-accomplished young composers. Each young composer creates a new work for the Festival, which is brought to life for the first time by Festival artists, thrilling composers and audience members alike. The Young Composers leave LCCMF with a professional quality recording of their work, as well as newly acquired skills that will help them in their chosen profession.
