Todd Alsup and
Major Who Booking have once again impressed the college crowd, being chosen for a second year in a row for a
NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) showcase - this time at the Mid-Atlantic festival in Lancaster, PA.
There were over 700 submissions for only about 50 showcase slots, of which fewer than 15 were given to musicians.
Todd will be performing for 1000 student talent buyers from colleges across the region. Last year, Todd's Northeast Convention showcase translated into a slew of gigs up and down the east coast, and we're sure that with this year's showcase we will build on that success in the coming school year.
MajorWho has received a grant from the
Aaron Copland Fund for Music to produce a record of piano music performed by
Kathleen Supove. The record will consist of pieces by contemporary American composers such as
Daniel Becker,
Missy Mazzoli,
Anna Clyne,
Michael Gatonska, and
Randall Woolf.
Congrats to Kathy - we look forward to working together on yet another project.

In keeping with his lifelong devotion to contemporary music,
Aaron Copland created the Fund and bequeathed to it a large part of his estate. The Fund was officially announced to the public in 1992. The Fund’s purpose is to encourage and improve public knowledge and appreciation of contemporary American music. The fund operates three
grant programs and also
grants permission for the use of Copland’s music.

Major Who pursues performance, new media and unique licensing opportunities for our artists and catalog.
