We are a diverse community of composers with the common purpose of creating and performing new music.  Our area also teaches music theory, electronic music, and composition to students in the Rome School and across campus.

We offer as many opportunities as possible for students to have their music performed, both at Catholic University and elsewhere.  We support student creativity in all musical styles, and teach professional skills to help jump-start careers after graduation.
