- EarShot is the first ongoing, systematic program for developing relationships between composers and orchestras on the national level, developed by the American Composers Orchestra to ensure the vibrant future of new American orchestral music. Over the last 25 years, these readings have provided more than 350 composers with vital artistic and technical resources, as well as career-accelerating public exposure. This year, the featured composers are Fred Onovwerosuoke, Ahmed Al-Abaca, SofÍa Rocha and Alyssa Regent. Alumni of EarShot have won every composition award, including the Pulitzer, Grammy, Grawemeyer, American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Rome Prizes, to name a few. Composer-orchestra relationships extend beyond the EarShot Readings, and since 2009, 28 works have been commissioned by partner orchestras from EarShot participants and more than half of selected EarShot composers report receiving a commission directly resulting from their participation.
