Minnesota
Given the Forum's origins as a Minnesota organization, area composers, performers, and audiences have long enjoyed the benefits of the organization's programs. The Twin Cities & Greater Minnesota Chapter was founded to assure the continued development of local programming as the organization expanded its work nationally. Chapter programming includes local performances and salons, meetings with visiting composers, and Community Partners projects that link composers to Minnesota's increasingly diverse ethnic communities.
