With support from the California Arts Council, LEFT COAST CHAMBER ENSEMBLE INC will offer a second session of our successful Pathways program, providing mentor-guided workshops, and professional ensemble performances and recordings for young composers with limited access to these essential resources. Pathways addresses the dearth of high-quality recording resources that overwhelmingly affects BIPOC composers and composers from underrepresented groups, acting as a barrier to future career opportunities.
