“I love seeing initiatives that consider real-life, down-to-earth needs and considerations for music, and this commissioning initiative does exactly that by identifying the specific need (ensemble music played during a pandemic), determining how to meet that need (through specific requirements for the commissioned pieces), and then financially supporting composers so they can write these works.”
— LAUREN BERNOFSKY, composer
