We have compiled helpful resources below for those looking to explore more composers of various backgrounds.
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.
An explanation for the instrumentation line and how to read it can be found HERE:
Coming soon: ROCO commissions and premieres for smaller ensembles of less than 15 players. Keep watching this page!
