The Composer Discovery Initiative
Donation protected
The Composer Discovery Initiative was founded by three musicians and friends with a mutual passion for neglected composers and their music. Jared Oaks, Zachary Milliman, and Briawna Anderson first conceived of The Initiative in 2013, when their late-night sessions playing and discussing music led to the discovery of many exciting and engaging unpublished works. Upon further investigation, the trio realized that many worthy composers—both past and present—failed to find the audiences and musicians who would most appreciate their music.
