Commissions for the Public Domain
By commissioning works that will live in the public domain for two years, NextWorks aims to make the transformative experience of performing new music and working with living composers accessible to all choral ensembles at no cost to them. Each annual round of commissioned works will include pieces in Two-Part, SAB, SSA, and SATB voicings, along with free learning materials and subsidized Zoom sessions between composers and choirs. Commissioned composers include Melissa Dunphy, Stephen Feigenbaum, Coty Raven Morris, Ayanna Woods, Reginal Wright, and Yiran Zhao. Be sure to follow @nextworkschoral on Instagram for more updates
