Programs

Please visit NEW MUSIC USA'S GRANT PAGES for a fully updated version of all of Meet The Composer's and the American Music Center's combined programming.

Meet The Composer offers a wide array of on-going programs and other initiatives that aim to benefit composers and the new music field. Some operate in the traditional sense (open call, peer review, etc.) while others are more fluid in concept and execution. No matter the mechanics, at the heart of everything MTC does is the living composer.
