I was at posted welcome to the final
beat an important focus of the 2016 NY
phil biennial is showcasing the next
generation of composers and musicians
this biennial featured premieres written
and performed by students and alumni in
the world's top music schools festivals
and youth choruses we knew that we had
created a platform for not only in New
York Philharmonic and for new music in
New York but for other organizations to
come be a part of the biennial we felt
it was a special opportunity not only to
involve young musicians in the biennial
but also to get their take on and what
they see as the new threads of new music
and contemporary music and who are the
composer's to which they're gravitating
and I think the energy and enthusiasm
that they'll bring to this by an amiable
really special one such concert takes
place on jun 8 with the NY phil biennial
welcome to ask a contemporary ensemble
performance of music in several of their
recent alumni thomas kocha nina see
young and christopher stark the concert
will also include music of aspen faculty
members stephen heart key and the late
stephen Stuckey as well as the piece by
New York Philharmonic
composer-in-residence s epic of saladin
all of the pieces on this program are
being presented in New York for the
first time for a young composer like
myself to have the opportunity to come
here here a piece played by an amazing
ensemble and put on by an incredible
organization I don't know what else you
can really ask for the concert adds a
new and exciting venue to the NY phil
biennial as it takes place in the newly
opened with a museum downtown site of
another innovative biennial festival and
a perfect place to hear this music never
before performed in New York I love
taking the music outside of different
concert venues and putting to new places
and seeing what that does for new
audiences that's really special for the
current state of new music the next
generation is featured in many other
concerts throughout the NY phil biennial
including with the interlochen arts
academy
the Brooklyn youth chorus and San
Francisco girls chorus Yale's new music
new haven alumni from the Lucerne
Festival this year also marks the 20th
anniversary of the philharmonic's very
young composers program highlighting the
youngest generation for budding
composers this is just one of the many
ways that the New York Philharmonic
collaborates with organizations around
the world to foster young talent I'm
