San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra

If anyone's in the SF area....

We are having our next concert on Dec. 2. My Septet will be performed.

The way this orchestra works is that we only play brand new music. If you play in the orchestra, we will perform your piece. Otherwise you have to pay for us to play it.

I'm afraid I can't make it - I won't be visiting the USA the coming months. But I think the idea of an orchestra performing only new works by it's members or other contemporary composers is great. Good luck!

I'm confused I thought orchestras pay composers to play their music. Or I guess that is only for proffesional composers.
