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.
