First International Composers Exchange - Final Concert
This concert concludes the first International Composers Exchange, which brought five artists from the Netherlands to New York City to work in residency with some of the city's most dynamic young ensembles and artistic institutions. The concert presents the result of this international collaborative work, with a great variety of styles and media, ranging from jazz to chamber music to video installation. Completing this diversity is the world premiere of a new work by Michael Edward Edgerton, the leading specialist of extended vocal techniques, as well as a piece by composer and NYFA scholar Eve Beglarian, who will be going to the Netherlands as part of the second round of the Interational Composers Exchange.
