Young composers from Melbourne, Australia in residence at MOA, October 3–17, 201
A unique collaboration between UBC and seven University of Melbourne young composers will result in the creation of a unique series of soundworks inspired by their experiences of MOA as a place of art, architecture, history, and cultural diversity.

While in residence at UBC, the students will work with Associate Professor Mark Pollard, composer, researcher, educator, and Head of the VCA School of Contemporary Music at the University of Melbourne.
