Virginia B. Toulmin Orchestral Commissions Program
Commissions, Premieres, & Rescores
We present these works which we have performed since our inception, with links to the audio and video recordings when available, and have hyperlinked the composers in order for you to further explore their work. Works this past season and going forward are funded in part by ROCO Resound, our commissioning consortium.
