Welcome to the S.F. Bay NACUSA chapter's web site.

NACUSA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It was founded in 1933 by Henry Hadley originally as the National Association of Composers and Conductors. It is one of the oldest organizations devoted to the promotion and performance of music by Americans. Many of the most distinguished composers of the 20th Century have been NACUSA members. Each NACUSA chapter typically sponsors several concerts each year which feature music by its members. NACUSA has chapters in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Southern Oregon, Baton Rouge ("mid-south"), Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas.
