If you plan on going to the Midwest Clinic, come meet me at the Coffee with Composers Roundtable. It'll be on Thursday, December 17, in the Skyline Ballroom W375D at 11 am. We'll rotate through short conversations with small groups of directors and college students. It’s like speed-dating but with free coffee and less awkwardness, I'm told. After the speed-chat sessions, composers and attendees may enjoy longer chats during the informal social hour to continue their conversations and connect with other instrumental music educators in a relaxed setting. Avoid the line at Starbucks during the lunch rush + make new friends!
