COMPOSER'S VOICE
The Composer's Voice concert series is always looking for new and innovative
ways to empower composers and the champions who perform and promote new
music. The goal is to give an opportunity for the composer to have a forum
in which they can express their own aesthic or personal "voice." Composer's
Voice does this in several ways:
- Frequent Concerts - Composer's Voice has presented more than 150 concerts
in New York City and around the world.
- Calls for Scores - Composer's Voice often presents musicians and ensembles
who are looking for works to fit their instrumentation. Composer's Voice
disseminates these calls to its members and the public and organizes calls
for scores to fit the musicians needs. Check out new calls for scores and
calls for works for Composer's Voice.
- Talented Musicians - Composer's Voice presents works from living
composers. The series specifically seeks, presents, and promotes talented
musicians who embrace new music adding it to their repetoire.
- Concert Curation - Understanding the difficult environment that new music
experiences, Composer's Voice also presents opportunities for individuals
and organizations to curate and organize performance. The goal is to
strengthen and empower the field with successful concertizing strategies to
further propegate new music. Composer's Voice also seeks to collaborate with
musicians, composers, curators, and other new music organizations to creat
opportunities for the composer and new music.
