In 2020, loadbang started the Collaborative Commissioning Fund to support and commission BIPOC composers with direct funding from the ensemble. After 2 years of fundraising and thanks to so many of you, the commissioning has begun, and the first three composers we’ve been so fortunate to work with are Raven Chacon, Forbes Graham and Daijana Wallace.
Donate HERE to keep the fund alive and growing!
