[edit] Web based projects
Web based projects include Weekly Readings in which they record a different piece of music every week and post it to their website, Spotlight Double Bass, a collaboration with the International Society of Bassists, and Composer Alive.[2]
[edit] Composer Alive
The first Composer Alive project was a collaboration between ACM and Beijing based composer Xiaogang Ye in the summer of 2006. Ye composed Datura, which is now published by Schott music, and travelled to Chicago for the World Premiere at the Chicago Cultural Center.[2]
ACM's other projects include Sound of Silent Film and Noteplay, an event that allows children to discover the joys of creating and manipulating sound.
