MOST-PERFORMED AMERICANS (ORCHESTRAL DIVISION)

posted by James Reel

Cribbing from Norman Lebrecht’s blog (I can’t find the original document online), I can tell you that the League of American Orchestras has announced the most-performed American composers (among primarily professional orchestras) during the 2008–09 season. No surprises, really, except when you get down to the six-way tie for position 18 on the list of living composers. Who is Samuel Jones? Perhaps one of the few composers under 70 down there at the bottom of the list. Worth investigating. Here’s Lebrecht’s post.
