Current Community Initiatives:

The Composers Exchange: (Virtual by Zoom) Now in its second year, this growing community of over 155 music composers, producers, and songwriters has weekly meetings and collaboration sessions driven by the interests of the community and small collaboration groups that form through topical interests and various inspirations. This community evolved from a small group of cinematic composers studying harmony and the craft of scoring for pictures.
