In 2020, loadbang started the Collaborative Commissioning Fund to support and commission BIPOC composers with direct funding from the ensemble.

Donate HERE to keep the fund alive and growing! After 14 years and over 450 premieres, loadbang's dear friend and baritone Jeffrey Gavett is moving on to new musical explorations. Beginning in the 22/23 season, we are thrilled to welcome Tyler Bouque to the loadbang family!
