The Gainfully Employed Composer

February 23, 2022

Composer Dan Visconti and ACO President Melissa Ngan discuss the ins and outs of self-publishing for composers, from which printer and paper to use to best practices for renting out work to ensembles.

Composer Dan Visconti is updating the role of the classical musician for the 21st century as he creates new projects in collaboration with the community. For his ongoing initiatives to address social issues through music by reimagining the arts as a form of cultural and civic service, Visconti was awarded a 2014 TED Fellowship and delivered a TED talk at the conference’s thirtieth anniversary.
