Academy Composition Seminar & Book Signing: Duet with the Past – A Composer's Memoir (Michael White Performance Center) – Free Event, books available for purchase

Daron Hagen’s new memoir has been called “beautifully written,” “ruthlessly honest,” and “irresistible.” This is a unique chance to hear directly from a composer about what inspires him. Spoiler alert – you might even hear about a certain music festival that takes place in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
