The Wisconsin Composers Project is a new database featuring state creators (sign up here), with the aim of fostering collaboration among writers and performers, as well as raising awareness for both the public and concert sponsors. The site is a project from the Madison New Music Festival, which hosts a kick-off webcast concert featuring performances by composers Brent Michael Davids and Lawren Brianna Ware (pictured), and works of Jerry Hui (performed by Jennifer D'Agostino and Michael Roemer), Laura Schwendinger (by Trace Johnson), and Asha Srinivasan (by Tom Curry).

press release: The Madison New Music Festival is pleased to announce the launch of the Wisconsin Composers Project. Both a community resource and annual series, the project consists of a database and virtual concert meant to increase composers’ visibility and encourage local curators and performers to collaborate with their neighbors. 

We invite all Wisconsin-affiliated composers to sign up to be included in the database on our website: https://madisonnewmusic.org/aboutwcp

Please join us for the live streaming event of the Wisconsin Composers Project Concert on September 25, 2020 at 7:30 PM CST on our website at madisonnewmusic.org and enjoy new music from all over Wisconsin from the comfort and safety of your home.
