BALANCE CAMPAIGN
Balance Campaign is a contemporary classical ensemble dedicated to commissioning and performing new works by women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC composers, as well as composers with connections to the ensembles home in the Washington, DC area.

Since their start in 2017, the ensemble has produced local and touring concerts at Atlas Performing Arts Center, AMP by Strathmore, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of District of Columbia, ShapeShifter Lab, Fordham University, and countless churches, homes, and community spaces.

As the District New Music Coalition's 2019 Ensemble-in-Residence, Balance Campaign forged connections with audiences and musicians by performing a series of concerts featuring the work of living composers in the D.C. metro area. In summer 2019, Balance Campaign was awarded a residency at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute, where they collaborated with composer Nathan Lincoln de Cusatis on their first commission, ANIMAL, which premiered October 2019 at Fordham University during their Northeast ‘DESTRUCTION’ Tour. They are currently working closely with Alexandra Bryant-Tavani on a new commission to be premiered in 2023.

Balance Campaign is in residence at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, University of Maryland, College Park, and the Catholic University of America for the 2022-2023 academic year, where they are collaborating with student composers on new compositions and curating concerts open to the public.
