My Nonprofit Reviews

I was first introduced to American Composers Orchestra (ACO) as a captivated listener; ACO is one of few orchestras that focuses on providing provocative concerts that feature new American orchestral works. When ACO teamed up with Columbia University to offer the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute (JCOI), that was the perfect opportunity for me to transition my own work as an improvising composer into making works for orchestra. With JCOI, I personally gained the skills and confidence to expand my pallet. Now in the second stage of the process, I have been given the once in a lifetime chance to write for ACO and work with a composer/mentor on the work. It's a dream come true! This type of offering is a rarity.
