<p>Not a festival, but there is a program in Croatia that Joel Hoffman, head of composition at CCM, participates in every summer. He teaches the composition course, but there are also performance courses. I’ve looked at the website and its a bit difficult to tell the level, and the age range - although it does seem to be from high school to late 20’s? Anyway, the deadline isn’t until April 30. </p>
<p>The school website is <a href=“http://public.carnet.hr/hdgp/upbeat/”>http://public.carnet.hr/hdgp/upbeat/</a>[International</a> Summer School “UPBEAT”](<a href=“http://public.carnet.hr/hdgp/upbeat/]International”>http://public.carnet.hr/hdgp/upbeat/)</p>
