PRISM Quartet Premieres New Works by UPenn Composition Students
Presented by the University of Pennsylvania and PRISM Quartet, Inc.
PRISM presents an entire program of newly composed saxophone quartets by UPenn doctoral student composers Andrew Davis, Marc Lemay, Jacob Walls, Finola Merivale, Kevin Laskey, and Joshua Hey.
ABOUT PRISM Intriguing programs of great beauty and breadth have distinguished the PRISM Quartet as one of America's foremost chamber ensembles. Two-time winners of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, PRISM has been presented by Carnegie Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and as soloists with the Detroit Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra. Champions of new music, PRISM has commissioned over 200 works, many by internationally celebrated Pulitzer Prize-winning composers. PRISM's discography includes fourteen recordings for the Albany, Innova, Koch, Naxos, New Dynamic, and New Focus labels. PRISM may also be heard on the soundtrack of the film Two Plus One and has been featured in the theme music to the weekly PBS news magazine "NOW." PRISM performs exclusively on Selmer saxophones and mouthpieces.
