Society of Black Composers

Hide Profile

The Society of Black Composers was founded in 1968 by a group of composers in the New York City area. The aim of the Society was to promote the works of contemporary black composers in order to educate the community at large. The Society held several concerts and residencies before financial problems forced it to become inactive around 1973.
