COMPOSER
An affordable solution for composers: Did you write an orchestral work, only to discover you cannot afford a demo CD with an orchestra which can do it justice? The Summertrios approach gets you a cost effective CD with a truly fine orchestra, and a premiere performance of your work.
Premiere Performance and Demo Recording of your Composition
Getting a demo CD of an orchestral composition is ordinarily a difficult and very expensive matter. By using the Summertios Orchestral/Concerto Program you can make it all simpler and less expensive. The reason is, simply, we have already hired the orchestra, and have planned things so that each participant uses just as much orchestra time as he/she needs. You do not have to hire an entire service (2.5 hours) if you only need an hour.
We are already recording, so again, you share the cost with the other participants, using just what you need.
How does the program work?
You provide a score to the conductor, who will read it and consult with you, both about your intentions and about technical details of performing your composition. You will work with the conductor as he rehearses your composition. We record your composition twice: once at final rehearsal and again at performance. You may choose which recording you want as your demo disk.
What may I record?
Any orchestral composition provided the instrumentation is not too difficult to implement. We will consult with you about whether your composition is suitable for our program.
What is the recording quality?
It will be clear, and suitable as a demo disk. Samples of previously recorded works are available. We do not have a contract with the orchestra to make professional recordings for commercial use.
CONDUCTOR
Welcome, maestro to be. Is conducting a fine orchestra in that special work one of your dreams? Let Summertrios put a conductor's baton in your hand for that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Six Day Program Includes

Costs
The costs depend on what size orchestra you need for the music you will conduct, and how much rehearsal and performance time you need. Costs include room & board at the college, facilities fees, tuition, as well as the rehearsal and performance time you have agreed to. We will provide custom pricing for you based on your requirements. However, you can do some estimating of the costs yourself by reading the Cost Chart on the application.
