Now in its sixth year, ACO’s Commission Club invites all to join the creative process of commissioning new works with American Composers Orchestra. Members will follow the creative process from start to finish, from discussing an artist’s first creative spark through the writing process, and finally to the rehearsal and premiere.
Club membership supports commission fees, printing, rehearsal, and performance costs. Benefits include printed credits in newly-commissioned scores and invitations to exclusive events to meet the artists.
This season, the Club will support commission and premiere of 10 new works by ACO in 2022-23:
- Last Year by Mark Adamo
- Materia Prima by Carlos Bandera
- Seven Sides of Fire by inti figgis-vizueta
- Pulse by Marcus Gilmore
- Hello, Tomorrow! by Yvette Janine Jackson
- Modern Yesterdays by Kaki King
- Floodplains by Ellen Reid
- Cohere Touch by Trevor New
- Dream Train by Mendi + Keith Obadike
- Embrace by Curtis Stewart
