Composers of Color Collective<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

( CCC)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Composers of Color is a collective group of colleagues of working composers brought together to discuss<\/span>\u00a0and explore the creative conditions of our music in the marketplace, academy, and concert world. The main purpose is to provide<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Collegial<\/b>\u00a0support, <\/span>advice,<\/b> and to bring visibility, and institutional partnering to the programming, public exposure, understanding, study, and performance of new music creation. We also believe that those of us in the arts and humanities have a tremendous responsibility to provide direction and training to\u00a0young people today. Committed to mentoring, outreach, expanding the base of sonic literacy, our group is inclusive of composers, creative artists, educators, university and community administrators, who too are committed to the visibility and support of this kind of music programming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brought into action<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

April 27, 2013,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Boston<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the purposes of our meeting was to function as a strategic planning session for a sustainable series of events focusing on the future programming of concerts, symposiums, publications, sharing, and resource gathering, connected to scholarly information and collegial base support of our efforts to create new music. We also felt it needed to be initiated by us, creative musicians, for our cause, not any institution.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, we thought it ” smart” to invite “administrative heads and doers”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First<\/b>, to the table who, through their expertise and associations, can help to put down a sustainable track of events. And so a draft mission statement was proposed, meant to be amended at the first annual meeting…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And we remember the famous 1969 summit at Indiana <\/span>University<\/b>, where\u00a0the book Black Music in Our Culture( 1970) and The Black Composer Speaks( 1978)were published, which both serve as the landmark works that help to chart our challenge forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thus, we crafted a meaning and mission statement forward….<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
