By hosting regular performances of new works, we seek to engage the public in the joy of experiencing new music. By joining as a Collective, we aim to create an environment that encourages composers to freely explore new musical territory, hear new works by fellow composers, collaborate in writing and performing, and present these works to an audience. ==================================================================== ***ABSOLUTELY WE WILL SPREAD OUR GROOVE AND INTERNATIONAL FEELING*** (As always, if you are receiving this and don't want to, or are not receiving this and do want to, or are receiving duplicates, or are receiving duplicates, please let me know.)
