Jazz Composers Take on the Classical Orchestra at Columbia University, 6/3
By: Devin MacDonald
Seven category-defying new works for symphony orchestra will be unveiled in two days of public readings that take the symphony orchestra in new directions. Featured composers are Jennifer Bellor, José Beviá, Courtney Bryan, Ingrid Laubrock, Andy Milne, Richard Sussman, and Sumi Tonooka. Working in jazz, improvised, and creative music, these composers were chosen from a national pool that participated in the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute presented by ACO and the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia University. Mentor composers George Lewis, Anne LeBaron, and Paul Chihara oversee the proceedings. Delta David Gier and Oliver Hagen are guest conductors.
