The SCL
The Society of Composers & Lyricists is the premier organization for music creators working in all forms of visual media: film, television, video game, and musical theatre.
The SCL has been bringing together creators since 1945 to foster community, further our understanding of our craft, and to have a voice in the decisions that affect our future.
