The Unusual Suspects

Aside from the director, there are people who can be very influential in the hiring (and firing) of a composer. The panel will discuss how to make the most of these relationships and how, if used properly, they can even give you an inside track.

Moderated by EMMY-winning SCL Board member and Seminar Chair, ASHLEY IRWIN, the panel will comprise:
