Composition for Harp
Winter Term is a two week period SFCM sets aside for students to immerse themselves in subjects beyond the standard curriculum. It’s a chance to learn about an interest you’ve never quite had time to explore. Or to give your career a head start by developing a business or technical skill. Or to watch an idea come to life. Or to see what happens when you play in a way that you haven’t before. Performances during winter term are an opportunity for students to display what they have learned or worked on during their winter term project.

About SFCM’s Composition Department
Prize-winning faculty develop and refine the skills of the next generation of great composers. The composition department both honors tradition and encourages innovation. Our four versatile faculty members closely mentor students while maintaining high-profile composing careers. We strongly emphasize interdepartmental collaboration, matching composers with performers, as well as offer frequent concerts and readings of student works. Every year, SFCM hosts the Highsmith Competition, an internal composition contest that grants the winner a performance of the submitted work by the Conservatory Orchestra. You'll be able to take advantage of the extraordinarily rich musical life of San Francisco, home to some of the most groundbreaking musical activity of the past half-century.
About SFCM’s Harp Department
The San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Harp Department is comprised of fewer than five students. At SFCM, students have opportunities to perform with resident ensembles, including the Conservatory Orchestra, the Historical Performance program, small and large chamber ensembles, and Technology and Applied Composition recording sessions, as well as enter into the biannual Harp Concerto Competition.
