American Composer Orches

The American Composers Orchestra (ACO) is a national organization dedicated to the discovery and development of new orchestral music, focusing on amplifying the diverse spectrum of American music. Founded in 1977 by a collective of musicians in New York City, ACO has spent over four decades cultivating the careers of living composers and fostering meaningful partnerships with orchestras across the country.

Through initiatives like the EarShot composer advancement program and educational programs such as SonicSpark, ACO nurtures creativity and self-expression in students and composers alike. The organization also hosts electrifying performances featuring world premieres, showcasing the innovative works of contemporary artists at renowned venues like Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater.
