The improv sessions really helped me see hear music in a new way. I also loved listening to everyone else's music -- new sounds are always inspiring. The chamber readings and percussion collaborations were especially helpful, and I learned a lot about working with performers.
Nothing inspires creativity like a beautiful lake in Maine — especially when surrounded by a strong community of fellow composers.
