The Los Angeles Area Composers Society exists for area composers to support each other through providing feedback on presented works. At each gathering, some or all of the attendees will bring in a work that they wish to present to the other members. There is no requirement for a member to present, but if you attend enough gatherings we'll probably be pestering you to do it because we'll be interested to hear what your writing sounds like.

Members who also play instruments or sing are encouraged to volunteer to read the presented material, as this is one of the most valuable experiences a composer can have while writing a work. We'll attempt to find out what instruments will be available for each meeting in advance. Members may aim to write a work or a section of a work for the specific ensemble from time to time, so please do come to a gathering if you have committed to play for it. If the ensemble doesn't suit the work a composer wishes to present (or if the work is intended to be electronic), he or she can also bring in a mock-up or other recording.

Gatherings are informal and held at members' homes or local spaces that can be secured for little or no cost. Some gatherings may have an optional or required fee to cover space rentals, refreshments, etc., but it is my hope to keep costs as low as possible so that all feel welcome to attend.
