Composers Concordance: 11th Annual Comp-Play-Comp Marathon [LIVE]
Free (Free ($10 in-person attendance))
Gene Pritsker — The Dress In The Wind
Charles Coleman — The Music Between Us
Eugene McBride — Key?Largo
Composers Concordance presents the 11th annual Comp-Play-Comp Marathon on Sunday, November 29 at DROM NYC. The 3-hour marathon showcases amazing composer/performers in a cavalcade of short pieces.
Composers Concordance invited dozens of composer/performers to answer a question, "What kind of music would you compose if you know you're the performer?" For this year's marathon, a time parameter and theme were added into the fray: the piece must be 4-minutes at most, and be on the theme of 'Words and Music.'
Featured compositions include Maria Tegzes' Legacy on her own poetry; Gene Pritsker’s The Dress In The Wind on a poem by Erik T. Johnson; Charles Coleman's The Music Between Us on a poem by Robert C. Ford; and Eugene McBride’s Key?Largo featuring violinist Rolf Schulte.
The Comp-Play-Comp Marathon is the 3rd concert of Comp/Lit, Composers Concordance's ongoing festival on the theme of music and literature, to be presented throughout the 2020-21 season.
The livestream will take place at 6pm Eastern / 3pm Pacific.
To attend in person: Limited, in-person seating to 25 audience members. Tickets are $10 with an additional $20 food/drink minimum from DROM.
The concert will take place at:

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.
