My Nonprofit Reviews

If there was an orchestra any place in the world that played exclusively the work of living composers, it would already be of unique importance. The fact that the American Composers Orchestra does this and with extraordinary performance standards at Carnegie Hall in New York City, makes it one of the very most important new music performance organizations in the world. The orchestra has a long and impressive history of performances and premieres of new works, and yet this has not stopped it from retooling when changes in the artistic environment change around them. The fact that they have moved from a more traditional orchestra to a smaller ensemble which incorporates other media and electronics, as well as non-traditional configurations of the orchestra itself, shows that they are not only excellent but adaptable. I would say that they are not important but essential for composers in America today.
