International Composers' Guild

The Guild was run by a Council consisting of: • Varèse (director) • Salzedo • Alfredo Casella • Acario Cotapos Baeza • Carl Engel • A. Walter Kramer • Julius Mattfeld • Karol Szymanowski • Emerson Whithorne However, in practice most of the work was done by Edgar and Louise Varèse and Salzedo. After hosting the American premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire on 4 February 1923, she proposed staging a repeat performance, contrary to a rule of the ICG emanating from Edgard Varèse that aside from an immediate encore, no musical piece should be scheduled by the ICG twice. The ICG then relocated to the broadway based Vanderbilt Theatre for the third season and to the Aeolian Hall for the last three seasons. ==The seasons==

The ICG organised six seasons, each consisting of three concerts each. First season The first season was performed at the off-Broadway Greenwich Village Theatre, between 19 February and 23 April 1922. Second season The second season was performed at the Broadway based Klaw Theatre, and opened on 17 December 1922. Third season The third season was performed at the Vanderbilt Theatre. Fourth season The fourth season was performed at the Aeolian Hall. Fifth season The fifth season was also performed at the Aeolian Hall. Sixth season The sixth and final season continued at the Aeolian Hall. == References ==
