American Composers Orchestra

Since its first performance in 1977, the American Composers
Orchestra  (ACO) has been the only orchestra in the world
dedicated solely to  commissioning and performing music
written by American composers.


We spoke with new Artistic Director, Derek Bermel about his
vision  for the group, and took a look back at a few
interesting and  groundbreaking performances by this
revolutionary group of performers.
