Connecticut Composers Inc., in participation with the American Composers Forum and other organizations across the country, will be hosting a “National Composer Night Out” concert on May 14, 2015. ACF states: “On Thursday, May 14, 2015, composers throughout the United States will be connected physically and virtually in a tapestry of events designed to raise awareness and foster a sense of community for the composers and others who create new music in their area. We call it National Composer Night Out—an evening when composers, performers, producers and fans of new music are invited to host an event of their choosing and/or submit an audio file with a short sound bite of a new piece you're creating. These clips will be mastered into a Musical Paper Chain that will capture the diversity of music being created today.” More information on National Composer Night Out may be found at this link.
