Meeting ID: 869 9773 9502

Composers have tremendous resources in their local communities, some of which they might not even consider as available to them. In this presentation, Arthur Breur will discuss his experience promoting himself as a professional composer through his membership of chambers of commerce, and how that led to his orchestral premiere and becoming the Composer in Residence for two separate local ensembles: The Tualatin Valley Symphony and the Tualatin Valley Community Band. Included in the presentation are discussions of leveraging local businesses for patronage and sponsorships, as well as a mutually beneficial Composer in Residence agreement (freely available) for use with community ensembles.
