Many composers today work across a diverse range of media—from screen to concert hall and beyond. What does it look like to navigate and balance these different formats, and how do you approach preparing for a live orchestral performance? Join composer and winner of the Second Ending Ensemble’s first ever “call for scores” Bobby Ge, music director and conductor Ian Schaefer, and executive director Katherine Fong for a discussion about career diversity, programming live music, and the logistics of working with live ensembles as they prepare the Second Ending Ensemble for their upcoming concert at Lincoln Center. SCL members are also encouraged to attend the final performance on June 14th at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Additionally, 2 tickets will be raffled off during the seminar 🎶

We’re so thrilled to present this SCL New York Composer to Composer seminar featuring composers , , and , moderated by composer and SCL NY Admin 🎶

Together, we’ll explore what it takes to build and sustain a career as a composer across film, television, concert music, and beyond.

Through personal experiences and candid conversation, our panelists will discuss how they got their start, early career lessons, strategies for working independently and collaborating with or assisting other composers, knowing when to expand your team, and recent projects and career highlights.

The discussion will also examine navigating a scoring career across multiple creative communities, from maintaining connections in Los Angeles while building artistic networks in New York and internationally to working with NYC studios, musicians, contractors, mixers, and other collaborators. We’ll also explore expanding creative careers outside of traditional film scoring, including work with concert music, ensembles, and interdisciplinary collaborations ✨
