This program involves connecting ACF Philadelphia Chapter members with visiting composers who’s music is being featured by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Composers are able to directly interact with prominent composers and question them directly about their music in a semi-formal session. Collaboration with the Philadelphia Orchestra has enabled our members to connect with composers who they would ordinarily not be able to reach.
