Comp-Play-Comp Marathon: Let's Get Physicists

Composers Concordance presents its 12th Annual Comp-Play-Comp Marathon – featuring 4-minute works that more than 20 composer-performers were asked to write on the theme of 'Lets Get Physicist', as Part of this years ‘Science Festival.’ Since many of today’s composers are also great vocalists and instrumentalists, Composers Concordance again calls attention to composers' exceptional skills as performers of their own distinctive works.

This year's composer-performers include Angela Babin, Dan Cooper, Geoffrey Burleson, Jay Elfenbein, Peter Fabrizio, Peter Jarvis, Debra Kaye, Eugene McBride, Gene Pritsker, Dina Pruzhansky, Daniel Schnyder, Lois Hicks-Wozniak, David See, Steve Sandberg, Max Lifchitz, Amadis Dunkel, Shanan Estreicher, and others TBA.

The concerts will also be live-streamed on the Composers Concordance Facebook page.

Doors open at 5:30pm; show starts at 6pm Eastern.

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.
