Jean Coulthard Readings and Mentorship Program

The Jean Coulthard Readings and Mentorship Program gives emerging BC composers an invaluable opportunity to work with VSO musicians, a mentor composer, and visiting composers as they develop a work that will be read and recorded by a professional orchestra. This new format is premiered this year.
