American Composers Orchestra presents its 16th Annual Underwood New Music Reading Sessions. Up to eight composers in the early stages of their careers will be selected to participate, and one will be awarded a commission to write a new work to be performed by ACO. These sessions are designed to give emerging composers the opportunity to work with an orchestra and to hear their work performed by some of the country's most outstanding contemporary instrumentalists. The event will include critical commentary from ACO artistic staff, orchestra members, and composer advisors, as well as the selection of the composer to receive the commission award.
