Composer Symposium 2025

Registrants are encouraged to submit one of their pieces for presentation in a virtual Master Class. Our panel of writers and arrangers will offer encouragement and advice in a forum designed to focus on making each attendee's composition the best it can be. Whether this is your first anthem, a lyric, a simple worship song or an arrangement of a well-known hymn or folksong, this is your chance to receive training from the best.

Onsite registrants will have their piece evaluated during the conference.

In order to participate in the Master Classes, you must submit a PDF of your piece by 6/2/25. No corrections can be made after that date. Only one piece will be accepted per attendee.

Please email Dawn Young at dyoung@martincreativeservices.com to be added to the Master Class schedule.
