ADVICEBERG

ICEBERG New Music recognizes that there are institutional and financial obstacles that too often stand in the way of career opportunities for young composers, especially composers from under-represented backgrounds. To help increase the equity of our field, we are starting a new initiative: The ADVICEBERG Project. If you are a young composer with limited access to professional instruction, and are applying for a specific opportunity - for example, a school program, competition, or festival - we invite you to meet virtually with one of our member composers for a free lesson and/or review of your submission materials. Our member composers will offer artistic and professional feedback regarding score preparation, resumé and C.V. construction, bio writing, and more.

 

To arrange a lesson or consultation session, contact ICEBERG using the subject line "ADVICEBERG - [Your Name]."

 

Please note: The ADVICEBERG Project is open to all composers whose background or economic status might put them at a disadvantage in the world of professional concert music. However, this program was created in June 2020 specifically in response to the ongoing protests in support of racial justice and human rights, and is first and foremost designed to provide support to young composers of color. If we receive a number of responses that exceeds our capacity, preference will be given to composers who identify as being from an under-represented community.
