meet our 2021 guest lecturers

Our festival composers have the opportunity to learn from our guest lecturers at their interactive presentations during Connecticut Summerfest 2021. These four lecturers have diverse research and professional interests, from musicology to publishing to arts entrepreneurship. We can't wait for our composers to experience their expertise and passion!
