Member Testimonials

“

The Seattle Composers Alliance has been an indispensable resource for me in terms of connection and opportunity for as long as I've lived in Seattle. It has served as a springboard to success on several occasions, and continues to broaden its reach and influence, benefiting composers like myself as we explore our creative careers.

If you're considering becoming a member, I highly recommend it! And if you're a fellow creative looking for a musician to collaborate with in any capacity, look no further. The Seattle Composers Alliance has you covered!

Seattle Composers Alliance has given me opportunities I had, up to that point, only dreamed of. By proxy of the org, I was able to learn extraordinarily useful skills in composition that I use today in my own writings.

Their events expanded my professional contact list by a great deal and allowed me to connect with the greater music scene in the city. The team is honest, hard-working, and deeply passionate, and working with them is a joy. It's hard for me to extoll the SCA's virtues enough, truly, as I believe it is such a net positive for the scene and the city.
