Local Voices: It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood 

Even though a large majority of our professional lives have moved online, we all still support local ensembles and composers. Live concerts bring audiences and composers together in a uniquely special and transformational way. Attending a live performance of one’s own composition and taking a bow is incredibly rewarding! 

Today, we spotlight Graphite talent in different locales across the world. If these composers are your neighbors, why not program their work and give them a shout-out? You might be surprised when they show up in person to show their appreciation. Let’s make the most of a beautiful day.
