Choral Arts Initiative

PREMIERE|Project Festival

Nationally recognized as an incubator and accelerator program for emerging composers, this festival draws composers from around the world for an in-person intensive week exploring the creative and business aspects of launching a successful and sustainable career as a composer. Participants from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply with "Access, Equity, and Inclusion" scholarships readily available for participants. Upon conclusion of the festival, participants workshop new compositional ideas with a professional choir, receive a world premiere along with a professional recording, and have their piece distributed and published through a national music retailer.

Performances

Inspired by the call to champion new music, Choral Arts Initiative performs live throughout the Orange County community. From our own standalone performances often featuring world, regional, and national premieres, to collaborations with other arts organizations such as the Orange County Philharmonic Society, you can catch us performing all year long.
