The tirelessly creative flutist and curator Claire Chase has been called "the North Star of her instrument’s ever-expanding universe" (The New York Times). At the center of her Debs Creative Chair residency is the continuation of Density 2036. By annually commissioning a new body of flute repertory, this 24-year project consistently expands the boundaries of the instrument. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of this monumental project, Chase performs the first 10 programs in one exhilarating week, beginning with this Zankel Hall concert and culminating with the world premiere of Density x, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall.
