JOIN CASCADIA!

Cascadia founding members are interested in expanding the membership of this chapter and here are some of the benefits.

The Call for scores:  Each chapter may issue a call for scores and any member of NACUSA and our Cascadia chapter is eligible for sending scores and recordings for performance consideration to any of the other chapters when a call for scores is issued by them. Potential performances of the chamber music of Cascadia members may occur in Washington, Oregon, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Baton Rouge, Tennessee and Virginia.

If you are a NACUSA member with a web site URL listed on the Member Links page, it is automatically included in the NACUSA Web Ring.

A NACUSA/Cascadia member will have free inclusion in our online Member Catalogue and Member CD's, Audio Samples, and Member Links pages along with various networking opportunities.

A NACUSA/Cascadia member will have various networking opportunities, as well as the previously mentioned E-Bulletins regarding calls for scores, competitions, and grants. Also included is participation in the annual composition contest and score exchange program.

  • Become a Member (information on how to join, where dues are sent, the various catagories of membership, etc.)

Monthly Meetings

The Cascadia Chapter was formed over this past summer of 2008. Meetings are held once a month, 4 p.m. on the last Monday of each month. This schedule can change as needed. The monthly meetings are to discuss a variety of items relating to performances of our works; they are also opportunities for our members to learn from each other, and to socialize and enjoy each others' company.
