The Symposium

The Twisted Spruce Online Symposium enables advancement of musicianship through composition, critical career skills, and project development for guitarists and composers.  

​

The Symposium is divided into two, one-week sessions that are spaced one month apart.  The first week, July 6-10, introduces students to key concepts through classes and facilitates participants to engage with each other.  At the end of the first week, students break away in groups and work together on a composition and performance project.  During the week of August 10-14, the students and instructors convene for individual consultations on projects.
