#161 Composer Collectives

The twentieth century saw an interesting movement as composers banded together in collectives to help promote each other’s work. The movement has only gotten stronger in the twenty-first century with the rise of entrepreneurialism in classical music.

We’ll feature the music of several composer collectives and take a close look at their inner workings.
