Music In the Mountains’ Young Composers

Music in the Mountains’ Young Composers continuing the great tradition of music in Nevada County

Nevada County has a rich musical history. From classical and folk to rock and bluegrass, Nevada County has been home to many popular music festivals, camps and musicians such as Alasdair Fraser, Roy Rogers, Roger Hodgson, Jonathan Richman, Terry Riley and Joanna Newsom. Since 1982, Music in the Mountains, has been bringing classical music to the beautiful California Gold Country. The Young Composers Program is a collaboration between Music in the Mountains and the Nevada County Composers Cooperative and taught by composers Jerry Grant and Mark Vance. It kicks off early in the school year with youth from 5th grade through college. Students present a mid-year recital of vocal works, and the program culminates with the exciting and highly anticipated Young Composers Concert. For more information on click here.
