Support the conference

Thank you for helping support the 2025 Composers Conference. For over 80 years, the Conference has nurtured the creation, performance, and appreciation of music as we make music in community together! Your contribution is tax-deductible and deeply appreciated.

The Conference serves as a catalyst for conscientious creativity by practicing shared wisdom, expertise, and diverse artistry. 100% of your donations go towards all of our Conference's projects:

  • The creation of collaborative teams with our Fromm Foundation Composer and CPI Fellows to create new solo works that will be coached and workshopped by Music Director and Ensemble Conductor Vimbayi Kaziboni, 2025 Guest Composers Melinda Wagner and Felipe Lara, our CMW staff, and Artistic Director Kurt Rohde.

  • A series of workshops and demonstrations by our Conference Ensemble members for all participants.

  • The rehearsal and premiere of new works by our Fromm Foundation Composer Fellows with the Conference Ensemble, Music Director Vimbayi Kaziboni, and our New Music Conductor Fellow.

  • The premiere of the 2025 Susan Horvath Chamber Music Workshop Commissioned work by 2024 Fromm Foundation Composer Fellow Riccardo Perugini.

  • Performances of new works by young participants in our New Music/New Communities Initiative, and by our pre-professional new music specialists in the Contemporary Performance Institute (CPI) Fellowship Program.
