About this Event
Join MusiqaLab for a performance presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Where Do We Go From Here?
MusiqaLab brings together young composers and Musiqa’s experienced teaching artists, professional composers, and musicians to present world premieres at CAMH.
Over the course of a semester, students learn a variety of composition techniques, try out ideas with trained musicians, and prepare for a public performance of their work presented by Musiqa’s professional team of musicians. This year’s MusiqaLab composers all study at Madison High School under the direction of Varsity Choir and String Ensemble instructor Allen Williams and Marching Band Director Evan Fontenot. MusiqaLab's Teaching Artist is composer Badie Khaleghian.
