Reviving the forgotten legacy of a brilliant Russian-Jewish composer
Grant Funds Complete String Quartets!
The Pro Musica Hebraica Foundation has donated a significant
grant for us to publish Achron's Complete String Quartets! Many of these magnificent and witty
works have never before been published -- we're here to fix that!
Our 4-volume edition will feature the complete scores and parts in addition to
newly commissioned scholarship on each individual work.

Praise for Joseph Achron:
"He is one of our foremost modern composers and
I cannot say enough on his behalf both as a musician and as a man."
-- Jascha Heifetz (1935)
"Achron was one of the most under-rated modern composers.
The originality and profound elaboration of his ideas guarantee that his works will last."
-- Arnold Schoenberg (1945)
"Achron's Sextet... is quite the most impressive thing I've heard for years -- really very extraordinary in every respect. We must publish it, and soon, even if we have to sidetrack something else."
-- Gerald Strang to Henry Cowell (1941)
