Premiere Commission celebrates its 10th anniversary with a gala concert featuring old dear friends playing beautiful new music. We hope you will join us for this very special evening featuring:
- Bruce Levingston, pianist and Premiere Commission Artistic Director
- And acclaimed guest artists:
- Lisa Bielawa, composer and soprano
- Brooklyn Rider (Colin Jacobsen, violin; Johnny Gandelsman, violin; Nicholas Cords, viola; Eric Jacobsen, cello)
- Kimball Gallagher, pianist, and
- Christopher Tignor, composer
The program will include World Premieres of music by Lisa Bielawa, Augusta Gross, and Christopher Tignor and music of John Corigliano, Henry Purcell and Franz Schubert.
There will also be a special tribute to composer Lisa Bielawa for her consistent and inspiring high level of composition as well as her sustained advocacy for new music. Bielawa has distinguished herself as one of the most vital and important musical figures of her generation. In honor of her outstanding work, Premiere Commission has arranged that a portion of the evening's proceeds will go to support Bielawa's new and important Berlin project Tempelhof Broadcast.
