Composers in Red Sneakers

Composers in Red Sneakers was a Boston-based composers collective founded in 1981 by Thomas Oboe Lee, Christopher Stowens, Robert Aldridge, Roger Bourland, Amy Reich, and Gary Philo.

[1] The group appeared at Symphony Space in New York City in 1985 and produced an eponymous LP that same year.

[2][3][4] Their concerts were marked by an irreverent attitude including humorous, pre-recorded introductions and skits.

[5] The consortium subsequently recruited many new composers including Richard Cornell, Herman Weiss, Jean Hasse, Michael Carnes, Lansing McLoskey, Margaret McAllister,[6] Francine Trester,[7] Howard Frazin, Thomas Schnauber, Delvyn Case, Ronald Bruce Smith, Ken Ueno, and Peter Van Zandt Lane.
