ABOUT COPE COLLECTIVE
COPE is a collective of composer-performers and creative professionals working together to make new music—free from the time, financial, and creative limits of the industry.
We operate through collaborative labor exchange: by contributing to each other’s projects, we bring new works to life. Together with 35+ East Coast-based artists, we’re creating a more equitable, supportive, and vibrant experimental music community.
