American Composers Forum’s 40th Anniversary Video

Описание: About:
The American Composers Forum marks 40 years of bringing new music to life. From the beginning, the Forum wanted to connect with the wider community and engage an audience for new work. Over the course of four decades, ACF has nurtured the work of thousands of composers in all fifty states. Its record label, innova recordings, has released 460 new titles, and the BandQuest and ChoralQuest series for middle level students has reached over a half million students. From its early days on the campus of the University of Minnesota through today, ACF has a rich history of granting programs, readings, salons, conferences and residencies that support the creation of new work and connect composers to communities.
