ASCAP hits its 100-year milestone on February 13, 2014. For an entire century, the world's leading performing rights organization has provided American songwriters, composers and music publishers with community, protection of their work and the ability to be compensated fairly so they can continue to create the music the world loves. As it approaches its centennial, The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) is looking back on its 100-year history — as well as looking ahead to its next 100 years — by launching its 100 Years, 100 Days campaign and website on November 5th. The site features an interactive timeline of ASCAP's rich history; each day leading up to the birthday, a new year will be unveiled, revealing a fascinating trove of photographs, facts, musical selections and important milestones that tell ASCAP’s - and America’s – musical story in an exciting new way. The site also includes the short film, Why We Create Music, featuring some of ASCAP’s most prominent members sharing insight into their craft and the power of music. The film’s score is unprecedented and was a collaborative creation during the course of over 10 separate film shoots.www.ascap100.com.
