Composer Seminar

This two-week-long Composer Seminar provides eight young composers an intense dialogue with Dieter Ammann, Unsuk Chin, and international young performers. During the first week, participants discuss their music with both coaches in plenary sessions and in individual lessons. In the second week, the composers will be joined by the IEMA-Ensemble 2024/25 and young conductors of Lucerne Festival’s Contemporary-Conducting Program to rehearse their new works for ensemble written for the Composer Seminar to be premiered as part of the Summer Festival 2025.

Four works of the Composer Seminar 2025 will be selected and performed in Tokyo, Hakuju Hall on November 29, 2025, organized by KAJIMOTO with the support of Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan, titled “Lucerne Festival Academy in Japan 2025”. [www.kajimotomusic.com]
