ARTZenter Institute Emerging Composer World Premiere Concert I

Details

ARTZenter Institute is a grant program in partnership with the Contemporary Music Players, encouraging the creation of new music that explores the power and grace of the traditional orchestral ensemble. The fund was created by Tony Magee, founder of The Lagunitas Brewing Company of Petaluma, CA, and is committed to creating chamber orchestra workshops, mentorship and performance opportunities for young composers nationwide. The Emerging Composer Completion Grant Program has grown into one of the nation’s largest and most ambitious vehicles in support of new work, with multiple calls-for-scores being announced annually.

Featuring the winning composers from ARTZenter’s round of completion grants from January 2026, we present world premiere performances of 4 new compositions for sinfonietta at Brava Theater.
