BUTI Young Artists Composition Program

Is anyone else applying to this program? I heard a lot of good things about this program, and I was wondering if anyone who went had any more information about it.

BUTI is one of the most well-known summer programs for high school-aged and early college composers. Are you still in high school or are you an undergrad? BUTI is of course connected to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and there are “orchestral readings.” Do you want to write for orchestra or smaller ensembles? Check out whether composers only write for orchestra at BUTI.

Other programs are Walden School (Dublin NH), Yellow Barn (Putney VT), Brevard (North Carolina). and Boston Conservatory.

It will help if you know if you want 2 weeks or 6.

BUTI also has a two week electroacoustic composition program.

It’s a great choice for many.

I’m a high school senior and I like writing for orchestra much more than smaller ensemble. I’m interested in the 6 week program.

Sounds perfect for you.
