November 25, 20241 yr Hi, I want to try and host a symphony that multiple contributors can work on together! If there is some interest there will be a slow start to first get some people on board and work on the first section of the first movement or possibly agree on some more motives for the first movement. I'm a percussionist so of course I can't do something so musical as composing alone.
