Composers in Red Sneakers
- Composers in Red Sneakers

The Composers in Red Sneakers are a Boston-based composers collective founded in 1981. The founding members were Thomas Oboe Lee, Christopher Stowens, Robert Aldridge, Roger Bourland, Amy Reich, and Gary Philo. Concerts were given in the Old Cambridge Baptist Church and in Harvard University's Sanders Theatre and were consistently reviewed by Boston newspapers. One of their early champions was Richard Dyer, the music critic of the Boston Globe.[1] The group appeared at Symphony Space in New York City in 1985 and produced an eponymous LP that same year.[2][3][4] Although none of the founding members are still involved, since 1985, the consortium has subsequently recruited many new composers including Richard Cornell, Michael Carnes, Lyle Mays, Peter Schickele, Robert J. Lurtsema.
