The Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program for women composers is an initiative of the League of American Orchestras, in partnership with American Composers Orchestra (ACO) and supported by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation. Selected composers are previous participants in ACO's EarShot Readings.

The League and ACO have established two 30-orchestra consortiums, each supporting commissions by six women and nonbinary EarShot alumni. Each composer writes a 6–8 minute orchestral work and develops an educational or community-focused program presented in partnership with each orchestra. In the 2024-25 season,  10 composers have their works performed by 15 orchestras across the U.S.

This work was commissioned by the League of American Orchestras with the generous support of the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.


Experience the world premiere of a new work by Ahmed Al Abaca commissioned by the FSO and featuring FSO's own, Dr. Ron Ford. You may know Ron from his exceptional saxophone solo on our 2022 John Williams concert or from his many astounding performances with the FSO Jazz Ensemble. 

Also featured on this program is a new work written by North Carolina composer, Brittany J. Green. The performance of this piece is sponsored by the League of American Orchestras’ Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program.

On the second half of the program we will perform Dvorak's "New World Symphony", a beloved composition that was influenced by Black and Native music.
