Thirty Orchestras Selected to Join League of American Orchestras’ New Consortium, Presenting Newly-Commissioned Works by Six Women Composers

Initial premieres scheduled in New York, Sarasota, and San Diego

Thirty orchestras will take part in the League of American Orchestras’ Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program. The unprecedented national consortium ensures that new works by women composers, each commissioned by the League, will be infused in orchestra seasons to come, with multiple performances throughout the country. The consortium’s initial six lead orchestra-composer pairings were previously announced, with more than eighty orchestras applying for the additional twenty-four spots.
