About
In its largest commissioning project to date, Cincinnati Song Initiative commissions a single song from each of the ten composers taking part in the inaugural National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) composer mentorship program. The songs will be produced in a concert video and premiered as CSI’s season finale, celebrating the work of budding composers and providing an international platform for their works to be heard.
