Curtis New Music Ensemble explores 20th- and 21st-century repertoire through the highest level of artistry.
They join us in their first 92NY appearance with their program We the Artists, celebrating America at 250 through works by contemporary American composers reflecting the nation’s diverse musical tapestry. On the program: Clarice Assad’s Canções da America, inspired by South American rhythms and Indigenous traditions; Carlos Simon’s Giants, honoring five iconic Black Americans; Valerie Coleman’s Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes, exploring Black Indigenous heritage; and selections from Joan Tower’s Copland-inspired Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. A powerful program highlighting creativity, resilience, and the voices shaping America’s ever-evolving soundscape.
