Mission Statement
Composers and Schools in Concert is committed to supporting music education in secondary schools by connecting professional composers with high school music ensembles across the United States. Composers and Schools in Concert supports music education and the creation of new music by providing revenue-generating opportunities for school music programs and professional composers.
Description
Composers and Schools in Concert is a nationwide nonprofit organization that supports music education and the creation and performance of contemporary music. We aim to expose and engage high school students in the concepts, techniques, and skills underlying contemporary music composition. We achieve this through three programs: composer commissions, composer workshops and a score library geared for young performers.
We provide an online member directory to connect professional composers and youth music educators; we offer competitive grant funding for professional composers; and we provide progressive music education for young musicians.
