The Composers Concordance is a presenting organization for contemporary music by primarily living American composers. We strive to give opportunities to composers to have their works heard in a concert hall or a club setting and aim to present music in innovative ways with a thematic emphasis. We have a 26 year history of featuring women and minority composers as part of our natural mix. We arrange performers from a core group we have worked with over the years, but also are open to featuring performers who are recommended by composers and who are interested in championing their work. Our overriding vision is to see contemporary music, composers and new works as a rightful and respected part of society.
