We recognize that some concert series and venues are not able to program concerts that consist of solely “new music” and commissioned works.  Therefore, we have also been successfully incorporating works from this list alongside our commissions and contemporary works by ALAANA composers.  Most of the works listed here are also song-based, allowing our mixed programs to be cohesive and centered around a common theme.
