Associated Music Publishers looks forward to the 150th birthday of Charles Ives in 2024 and Henry Cowell's 125th birthday in 2022. These two icons of American music — mavericks in the truest sense of the word — irrevocably altered the history of Western music through their innovations and their influence. The composers also shared a professional relationship for over three decades, in which each played an integral role in the advocacy of the other's music.
