World Projects Partners With The Boston Composers' Coalition in 2014

World Projects is thrilled to announce our partnership with The Boston Composers’ Coalition! Beginning in 2014, one participating adjudicated ensemble at each of our seven domestic festivals will be selected to work directly with a composer from the Boston Composers’ Coalition on the development of a piece commissioned specifically for that ensemble. The group will perform this commissioned work as a World Premiere during their adjudicated performance at the festival!

In Memory of Robert William Lutt

Bob Lutt was born in 1929 in small-town Nebraska. He attended the local public schools, graduating from high school in 1946 at the age of 15. His love of music started at home.

"I was very lucky to have a mother who was a magnificent singer. In the little town I grew up in there was a very good school band and she put a lot of effort into getting me involved with it. My first instrument was the trombone -- I started when I was twelve."

He entered Wayne State College in the fall of 1946, the first person in his extended family to attend college.
