American Composers Orchestra History
The American Composers Orchestra (ACO) was founded in 1977 by George Manahan and a group of dedicated musicians committed to producing and performing new orchestral works by American composers. It became the first orchestra in the United States to focus entirely on promoting American composers, helping to shape and define the contemporary music scene. Over the decades, the ACO has played a crucial role in introducing complex, innovative music to the public and providing a platform for emerging artists. With a commitment to diversification, the orchestra has increasingly featured composers from various backgrounds and styles, making it a premier entity for new compositions in the orchestral genre. ACO's artistry is also noted for collaborating with renowned artists and institutions, thus broadening its reach within the arts community.
