Monica Ellis, bassoon

In response to the impacts of COVID-19 on composers and performers, American Composers Orchestra announces Connecting ACO Community, a new initiative to commission short works for solo instrument or voice. This event will include the world premiere of Karena Ingram's new work for bassoonist Monica Ellis and an exclusive Q&A with the composer and performer, hosted by Ed Yim and Derek Bermel.

The livestream will take place at 5pm (Eastern) / 2pm (Pacific).

Ticketholders will receive a private link to join the performance, and all of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go solely to fund artists involved in this project. If the $5 entrance fee poses a barrier to participation, please fill out an anonymous form at bit.ly/ACOConnectComp or email Aiden Feltkamp at aiden@americancomposers.org.

The recorded session will be available within 24 hours after the performance on ACO’s website and social media platforms, as well as on MUSIC on the REBOUND: an online festival for participating in live events as well as a platform for streaming concerts.
