Membership

To become a member, composers submit a portfolio of works to the Chairperson, who gives them to the membership committee, which evaluates them for professional competence. We expect members to be participatory and to attend meetings, which are generally held before our concerts to make attendance easier (and to limit the length of the meeting!) If you are interested in becoming a member CONTACT US.

Below you will find the current roster of members with links to any pertinent information about them. Some additional information on past and present members of the Guild can be found at the University of Akron Cleveland Composers Guild Archive.
