New Music Needs Your Voice!
If you are a composer, we want to hear from you! AMC and ACF have teamed up with Research Center for Arts and Culture at Teachers College, Columbia University to conduct the first major study of living composers in the United States, Taking Note. Take part in this important research and broaden the study’s reach by filling out the online survey. The study aims to gather important data to guide our efforts in better serving and advocating for composers of all styles and backgrounds.
