THE PASADENA CHORALE IS LOOKING FOR 
STUDENT COMPOSERS FROM PASADENA AREA 
HIGH SCHOOLS FOR THE EIGHTH YEAR OF ITS 
LISTENING TO THE FUTURE PROGRAM

 The Pasadena Chorale is proud to announce that it is looking for new students to enroll in its 
student-mentor com-position program – Listening to the Future, now in its eighth year. The Chorale 
is looking to accept Pasadena area high school students from ninth through 12th grade to enroll into 
its Listening to the Future program that will begin in November 2023 and run through June 2024. The 
free composition program culminates with the Pasadena Cho-rale performing the student composers’ 
new work at the Chorale’s Listening to the Future concert on June 15, 2024. The online application is 
available on the Pasadena Chorale’s website at pasadenachorale.org/listening-to-the-future. A teacher 
recommendation is required to apply and applications are due by Nov. 6, 2023. 

 “Listening to the Future is an arts education program that is very special to me. Created and supported 
by Pasade-na Chorale, Listening to the Future began in 2016 to give young composers a chance 
to hear their music performed in concert. There wasn’t a program like it in Pasadena,” said Pasadena 
Chorale Founding Artistic & Executive Director Jeffrey Bernstein. “This year we’re thrilled to announce 
that Jen Wang will be our composer mentor for 2024. Jen is not only an extraordinary composer, 
but she also sings with the Chorale and understands our organi-zation.”

 The high school students chosen to participate in the Pasadena Chorale’s Listening to the Future 
program will be selected based on their music experience, level of readiness, and teacher recommendation. 
Students will meet with professional composer Jen Wang two evenings per month in Altadena. 
Ms. Wang will provide instruction in writing for choir, feedback on student work, and help with revisions. 
Students will compose two pieces for the Chorale: an arrangement of an existing melody, and 
an original work.

 In March 2024, the student composers will attend a Chorale rehearsal and hear their music for the 
first time. The students’ compositions will be premiered at the Chorale’s June 15 concert. Students will 
receive video and audio recordings of their finished work that they can include in their portfolios and 
college applications.

 Space in the Listening to the Future program is limited; we’re looking for students with musical ability 
and commit-ment and for whom this would be a unique or significant new opportunity.

 In the eight years since the free educational program began, Listening to the Future has seen 6 
composer mentors guide 24 student composers in the creation of 62 original compositions. Alumni 
of the program have gone on to study at Stanford, Columbia, Yale, Chapman University, University of 
Michigan and more.
