AVS Presents: 2023 – Works by Underrepresented Composers
In June of 2021, the American Viola Society announced a call for submissions to participate in our inaugural album of works for solo viola and works for viola and piano that draw from repertoire by underrepresented composers. The AVS Underrepresented Composer Database serves as a resource for researching these works. Current AVS members may download and enjoy the recording tracks below.
