The Fall 2021 Composition Showcase features works by Emory student composers. These talented student composers will present their recent works created for any composition class, including Composing for Film, Electronic Music, Hip Hop Composition, Improvisation Laboratory, and Recording and Editing. Faculty and guest artists may also participate in the Composition Showcase. The works presented, which can include chamber, large ensemble, electronic, multimedia and collaborative projects, demonstrate the breadth and musical diversity of Emory’s student composers.

About the Emory Composition Studies Program Student composers create original acoustic and electronic music, often in collaboration with other student composers, performers, and artists.
