“What Is Home?” Commissioning Project

Left Coast has joined forces with Collage New Music (Eric Nathan, Artistic Director) and Eighth Blackbird (Lisa Kaplan and Matthew Duvall, Artistic Co-Directors) to launch a major new commissioning initiative. The project, entitled What is Home?, invites six composers from across the United States to respond to the question: What does home mean to you?

Commissioned composers include JaRon Brown, Erin Gee, April Dawn Guthrie, Eric Nathan, Angélica Negrón, and Juri Seo. Each composer will contribute one movement to a larger suite, forming a mosaic of perspectives on this theme.

Left Coast will present the suite during its 2026-27 season.
