The Manhattan International Composers Conference (MICC) is an event organized by composition doctoral students at the CUNY Graduate Center to explore issues related to composition and new music more broadly.
Rather than focus on the end result of the compositional process, the 2024 conference seeks to engage with composition as a lifelong endeavor. A myriad of topics from self reflection to practical career advice fit within this theme. For more details and a variety of possible topics, please click “see full details” below.
