SALONS


New York Composers Circle offers a variety of opportunities for presenting feedback on works in progress at our monthly salons, which are open to the public. At these semi-monthly meetings, member composers present and discuss new works and works in progress for fellow members and guests. They also hear talks and presentations by various professionals from the new music community. All salons are held as LIVE in-person meetings, as well as virtually via Zoom for those outside the NYC area or otherwise unable to attend in person.

Please see below for the dates and locations of each salon. If you are interested in attending one of our salons, please send an email to the Director of Salons, Anthony Izzo, here.
