The New Canon Project Collection

The New Canon Project (NCP) is a joint venture of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), the American String Teachers Association (ASTA), and Rising Tide Music & Arts (RTMA). Launched with support from the Sphinx Venture Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts, the project commissions new works by Black and Latine composers for orchestra and choral classrooms. Composers are selected for cohorts that provide inspiration, guidance and support. Through workshops, mentoring and school-based collaboration, composers create works for publication by The Press and worldwide distribution through ArrangeMe, a Hal Leonard Company. 

Purchases from this collection support Rising Tide Music & Arts composer pathway and publication initiatives.
