On Friday, January 24th, 2025 at 7pm Eastern, Composers Concordance presents duoJalal with violist Kathryn Lockwood and percussionist Yousif Sheronick.
Racing along with our new global society, duoJalal surprises the music world with their diverse and stunning artistry. duoJalal "are fearless seekers and synthesizers of disparate instruments and cultures," raves the Toronto Star. Like the marriage between Kathryn Lockwood and Yousif Sheronick, their music represents an organic amalgam of cultural traditions and musical styles. Audiences are enthralled as a classically trained violist from Australia ignites her instrument with passion—one minute embodying a medieval rebec, the next a shakuhachi.
Featured on the program are the premieres of True by Gene Pritsker, inspired by a German folk song; Framed Viola by Peter Jarvis; Hurry Up and Wait by Seth Boustead; and a new arrangement by Pritsker of Mark Kostabi's song Mr. It. Also compositions by Dan Cooper, Kenji Bunch, Philip Glass, David Krakauer, Enzo Rao, and Yousif Sheronick.
The in-person concert will also be livestreamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook Page.
About Composers Concordance
Staying in rotation for 40 years in NYC is a rare feat. In the case of a new music presenting organization, it requires not only diligence and cognizance of achievements of the past but also an ethic of keeping one's ear to the ground for emerging stylistic and technological developments, as well as talented new composers on the scene.
Composers Concordance, founded in 1984 by Joseph Pehrson and Patrick Hardish, advised by Otto Luening, strives to present contemporary music in innovative ways, with an emphasis on thematic programming. Directors Gene Pritsker and Dan Cooper co-curate the programs and lead the CompCord Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, String Orchestra, and Big Band. Associate Directors are Milica Paranosic, Peter Jarvis, Debra Kaye, and Seth Boustead.
Composers Concordance has also created a Naxos-distributed record label: Composers Concordance Records, co-directed by Peter Jarvis. Composers Concordance's overriding vision is to promote contemporary music, composers, and new works as a rightful and respected part of society. Good music performed and recorded well, pushing the boundaries of sound and composition.
