Summer Concert Series

The American Composers Alliance Summer Music Festival began in 2000, as a showcase to introduce new works by ACA composers. With support from Symphony Space, the concert series has evolved into a collaboration between composers and performers that goes beyond ACA, and features top-level performances. Since 2004, ACA has presented new works by more than 100 composers, and more than 35 works by young composers, with support from the Alice M. Ditson Fund, the Argosy Foundation's Contemporary Music Fund, the Puffin Foundation, BMI, and many generous individuals. 

In 2007, ACA celebrated its 70th Anniversary with a festival of six concerts, including the premiere of John Eaton's opera, Pumped Fiction. ACA’s  concerts offer audiences the rare opportunity to hear and appreciate the music of excellent composers from around the U.S., played by New York's top contemporary music performers. The festival also offers younger, emerging composers an opportunity to hear their music performed by professional players at one of New York's finest new music venues.

And finally, ACA, with its long and rich history, is committed to performing works by its founders and important early members, giving both an important historical perspective and link between the early decades with the music of today.

The ACA Festival provides a community meeting place for its members from around the country. ACA remains true to its original and continuing mission, to publish and promote its members and to support performances of their works.
