The Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, in cooperation with University College Chichester (UCC), is sponsoring an exciting opportunity to study composition and performance in the charming cathedral town of Chichester, located in south-central England. Offered during Summer Session II of 2001 (July 2 -20, 2001), students will pursue a minimum four-week course of study in music composition while being housed on the campus of UCC. Working together with British student performers in music and dance as well as with performance faculty from UCC, CUNY music students can earn three credits in composition studies and can elect to include instrumental studies. The program offers participants the opportunity to collaboratively create chamber music and dance compositions, culminating in a public performance of their work at the end of the session.

Chichester is located in the countryside of West Sussex in south-central England, not far from Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, Arundel Castle, and the seaside city of Brighton. Founded by the Romans, the town is home to a beautiful medieval cathedral, for which Leonard Bernstein wrote his
Chichester Psalms. University College Chichester, situated just outside the town, has thriving music and dance departments with more than 400
students. Active in the arts, the town of Chichester offers many cultural activities. Students will be able to attend performances at the Chichester Festival Theatre and the Chichester Fringe Festival during their stay. For more information about Chichester,
