Mission Statement
The Living Composers: AnythingPiano Project's
mission is to encourage the creation of repertoire for the piano in various combinations, to promote living composers
through public performances and recordings of their works, and to increase audience enthusiasm
and appreciation for new music through creative and varied programming.
LCAPP is currently focusing on music for four
hands at one piano by the following composers:
