COMPOSER LIBRETTIST DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - WORKSHOPS: ALT held developmental workshops for operas commissioned by the company under the auspices of the Composer Librettist Development Program. These piano/vocal and orchestral workshops were carried out to provide artists with the resources necessary to further develop their operas in progress. Public performances took place at The DiMenna Center for Classical Music in Manhattan; and these performances were also recorded and shared for free via social media. (300 in person, over 800 individuals viewed workshop programming online)

DIGITAL PROGRAMS: The Aria Access Project increases awareness of and access to arias by diverse, contemporary American composers and librettists whose scores remain largely unpublished. This online hub includes arias from works that have recently received their premieres, as well as from operas for which the premieres are forthcoming. 20 different arias are available for free download as PDFs for educational and audition purposes.
