Composers Now proudly announces the launch of its 15th annual Composers Now Festival with a landmark opening‑night concert on January 28 at 7:30 PM at National Sawdust.
Duo YUMENO collaborates to perform traditional & contemporary works exploring the dialogue between classical Japanese and western music. This concert will feature Daron Hagen's "Heike Quinto," a large-scale work composed for the ensemble, along with contemporary Japanese works.
The festival concludes with a musical tribute to America’s great composers. Hear Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring,” one of the most iconic American compositions of the 20th century and music by Florence Price and the West Coast premiere of Eric Nathan's Double Concerto for solo violin, solo clarinet and strings.
