The composers
of SOS met as participants during the inaugural season of
American Opera Projects’ “Composers and the
Voice” series, with meetings held on South Oxford
Street in Brooklyn. Though their musical styles varied
greatly from one composer to the next, the members shared a
common appreciation for one another’s work, and
established themselves as an independent entity with the
mission of presenting concerts of new music. To date, they
have presented concerts in 2004 at Symphony Space's Thalia
Theatre, in 2005 at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, and
in October 2006 at the Broadway Presbyterian Church in
Manhattan. Upcoming projects
include collaborations with the Momenta String Quartet
and a week-long workshop in Sombor, Serbia.
