Support the composers of today. Be part of the music of tomorrow.

Imagine composing a full orchestral piece—poured from your soul, shaped by months of labor—and then realizing that, without major backing or industry connections, it may never be heard. That’s the reality for many living composers. At the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, we change that.

In the traditional orchestral world, living composers struggle to get their music performed. Big orchestras rarely take programming risks. Rehearsal time is costly. Most new works never leave the page. We do things differently.

When you give to SFCCO, you’re not just supporting an ensemble. You’re expanding what orchestral music can be—fresh, local, boundary-breaking. You’re championing artistic risk in a field that often plays it safe. You’re creating first-time orchestral opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists and empowering composers of all backgrounds to bring their music to life.

Your donation directly supports:

• Commissioning opportunities for new and emerging composers.
• Recording and documentation to help composers build careers.
• Venue rentals so audiences can experience this music live.
• Musician fees for the performers who bring these scores to life.

Very few orchestras offer what SFCCO does. Funding us isn’t just supporting concerts—it’s investing in a more inclusive, living classical tradition, in musical innovation, and in creative freedom.

Let’s make more music—together.
