Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project (NACAP) is a program dedicated to teaching Native American young people to compose concert music. Each year, a different string quartet is in residence, and the young composers work with a different Native American composer.
