Eastman contemporary music summer course in Paris (deadline extension)

[Bob Hasegawa]

Dear CEC colleagues,

I still have a few spaces available in my Eastman School of Music summer study-abroad program in Paris (https://summer.esm.rochester.edu/course/paris/), offered in conjunction with IRCAM's ManiFeste-2026 festival of contemporary music and the ManiFeste Academy. We have extended the deadline to apply until Monday, February 2, 2026.

Theory 402a (Theory and Analysis of Contemporary Music) is a three-credit course open to  both graduate students and advanced undergraduates: theorists, composers, musicologists, and performers are all welcome. Among the course topics are sectral music, microtonality, computer-aided composition, and live electronics. The course will run from June 1 to 29, and includes participation in IRCAM's summer academy and attendance at all of the festival's events. This year's festival will celebrate the centennial of György Kurtag and includes music by Isabel Mundry, Thierry De Mey, Stefano Gervasoni, Unsuk Chin, and many other composers.

For more information, tuition and fee schedules, and an online application form, please visit the program website: https://summer.esm.rochester.edu/course/paris/
