League of Composers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The League of Composers/International Society for Contemporary Music is a society whose stated mission is "to produce the highest quality performances of new music, to champion American composers in the United States and abroad, and to introduce American audiences to the best new music from around the world." It was founded in New York City in 1923 as an American arm of International Society for Contemporary Music. It has sponsored premiers of works by such well known composers as Aaron Copland and Samuel Barber. It also sponsors an annual composers competition.
