Demystifying the Commission: Working with Composers, Performing New Music, and Looking to the Future of Double Reed Music

Performing music by living composers and working with them directly to make it possible can be a daunting prospect, especially for musicians unfamiliar with the composers already living in their creative ecosystems. In this panel discussion moderated by Jennet Ingle, composers Alyssa Morris, Kincaid Rabb, and Jenni Brandon will share experiences and anecdotes, reflecting on best practices in making new music. Including ample time for questions, this panel will discuss networking with composers, navigating the economy of composition, and the entire envelope of developing a collaborative project between composers and our double reed friends.
