Last year we had the time of our life, and now applications for The Big Sky Conservatory 2016 are open. 12 Singing Fellows will join 4 Composer Fellows, 12 artists of The Crossing, and composer Ted Hearne for a week of intense work, immersing themselves in new music - the works, the process, the techniques, and the rich rewards in bringing to life today's compositional voices - all in the idyllic mountain setting of Big Sky, Montana.

Read and apply here.
