What Attendees Say

Composer Summit 2023 was an unforgettable experience. Meeting A-list Hollywood composers, spectacular concerts, workshops, and most importantly, lots of inspiring people. All this was possible to experience in the very centre of Prague. I highly recommend the Summit not only to film music enthusiasts. I am looking forward to seeing what new things next year will bring!

I attended the very first Composer Summit Prague and was amazed at the amount of experience and knowledge I took away from the event. ‍ I was honestly afraid that it was a unique event, and the next years would not be so special. Man, how wrong I was!

The recording workshop at Czech Radio was a really unique event for me. To see the titan of orchestration and recording Conrad Pope at work, to get an insight into his process, and to see him work with Chris Egan, who is also a very experienced conductor, was a really one of a kind experience.

So many great composers in the same place, it’s a wonderful experience! ‍The amount of things you can learn here is out of this world, and getting a beer afterwards with all your new composer friends makes the day complete. Highly recommended!

It was the first time I had experienced so many interesting encounters, and inspiring moments packed into a few days.The energy, the emotions and the personal experiences of the speakers was all the material that I will draw from for a long time to come.
