Orchestra Of The League Of Composers

Contemporary Classical Ensemble

The Orchestra of the League of Composers is an ensemble dedicated to performing new music by living composers as well as works from the 20th-century repertoire that have significantly influenced contemporary music. The orchestra is associated with the League of Composers/ISCM, which is the oldest organization in the United States devoted to contemporary music. The League was founded in 1923 by a group of composers including Edgard Varèse and Carlos Salzedo, and it has a rich history of supporting American composers and introducing international works to U.S. audiences. The Orchestra of the League of Composers has continued this tradition by commissioning new works, collaborating with contemporary artists, and presenting concerts in various venues.
