What does the future sound like? Why not ask a child and see what immediate and unbiased answer they come up with? Young people's responses are often surprising and to the point, and can also be astounding for many a composer--for, the students are not the only ones who broaden their horizons in composition workshops. Four composers will share their extensive experiences in working on projects with children and teenagers and discuss the necessary framework and tools for a successful project.
