This Showcase is the capstone event to the Texas Composer Collaborative, a season-long effort to celebrate and explore the music of emerging Texas composers. Each work on the program will be selected through a competitive process that launched in September 2021 with the invitation for composers to submit previously or newly composed scores for various instrumentations.  From those submissions, selected composers will work collaboratively with Loop38 musicians, who will create a high-quality video recording of their works to premiere on the showcase digital event. The event and its promotion will be designed to spotlight and lift up each of the emerging composers.  Loop38 aims to build on these artistic relationships in the future as we cultivate community around newly composed music.

Gillian Rae Perry - Looking for Friends (2019)

Stephen Ryan Jackson - bleached || stained (2019)

Steven Serpa - Saudades for... (2014)
