The audience will have the opportunity to hear New York City’s younger generation of performers take on contemporary music, both jazz and classical.
This concert will feature George Crumb, Christian Wolff, Gerard Grisey and some of the youngest New York City’s composition generation – premiere of Luke Schwartz’s “Gust” for solo piano, commissioned by Danica Borisavljevic.
