Founded in 1985 by Butler University Composer-in-Residence
Michael Schelle, the JCFA Composers' Orchestra ("New Music
Ensemble") is dedicated to the preservation (and presentation) of
music by "not-dead-yet" composers.
The versatile, energetic, action-packed JCFACO programs (nearly
250 concerts on and off campus since the mid-1980s) consist of new
works by many JCFA student composers as well as
twentieth-century/avant garde classics and experimental new music
by highly-respected contemporary composers from across the US and
abroad. Featured guest composers with the JCFACO over the past two
decades have included George Crumb, John Adams, Chinary Ung,
Christopher Young (film composer of Species, Hellraiser, etc.),
Paul Chihara, David Stock, Dinos Constantinides, Karel Husa, Jim
Fox, Elliott Schwartz, James Mobberley, Henry Gwiazda, Rocky
Reuter, Masao Honma (Tokyo) and Aleksander Vujik (Prague).

Fire of Desire! From November 9-14, 2011, JCFA was
proud to host an "east meets west" symposium with guest composers
and artists from around the world presenting their music and
research. Here, our distinguished panel looks on as guest composer
Kazuaki Shiota speaks.
