EarShot initiates partnerships with orchestras around the country.

Ear
Shot provides consulting, production, and administrative support for orchestras to undertake readings, residencies, performances and composer-development programs.

Shot identifies promising orchestral composers, increasing awareness and access to their music.

Ear
Shot supports your orchestra's commitment to today's composers

EarShot provides coordination, encouragement, support and recognition to orchestras that offer programs that help identify and develop emerging composers of orchestral music. We bring together existing programs that now work in relative isolation to share experiences and expertise and encourages the creation of new and expanded activities that foster the growth and development of American orchestral music.

EarShot is made possible with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts.

 

EarShot is a partnership between
American Composers Orchestra,
American Composers Forum,
American Music Center, the
League of American Orchestras, and
