Pasadena Chorale College Composer Partnership

The Pasadena Chorale has announced an expanded partnership with The Collegiate Choral Composition Community (CCCC) as part of their 10th annual 'Listening to the Future' program. This exciting opportunity allows college composers from across the nation to have their original choral works performed and professionally recorded by the award-winning Pasadena Chorale. The CCCC will issue a call for scores to college composers nationwide, with selected works to be featured in the June 20, 2026 concert. This expanded concert will be presented in two acts: the first showcasing local high school composers' works, and the second highlighting selected college composers' pieces alongside greatest hits from previous years. Selected college composers will be invited to Pasadena to attend the live performance of their work and will receive professional recordings of their pieces. This partnership represents a natural progression of the successful 'Listening to the Future' program, which has been championing emerging compositional voices for a decade. The collaboration with CCCC, the nation's most extensive catalog of choral music by student composers, significantly expands the program's reach and impact in supporting the next generation of composers.
