The Cascadia Composers is a group of preeminent Northwest composers who are banding together to, in the words of its mission statement:<\/p>\n

Cascadia Composers will promote the composition and performance of contemporary classical music by regional composers, stimulate national and international awareness of this music, \u00c2\u00a0and gather composers to disseminate information pertinent to its members and the community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think that it’s fair to say that in other words, CC will be putting a lot more new music from local composers in front of audiences around the Northwest.\u00c2\u00a0 And that’s a good thing!<\/p>\n

Look here<\/a> for a list of upcoming events.<\/p>\n

The founding members of Cascadia Composers are David Bernstein, Dan Senn, Greg Steinke, Jeff Winslow, Gary Noland, Jack Gabel, and Tomas Svoboda (all pictured below).<\/p>\n
