Lacombe and Mackey talk Composition Institute on WWFM
Before the NJSO premieres their works on July 19, four young composers will spend a week at the NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute—an immersive program presented in collaboration with the Princeton University Department of Music and generously funded in part by the Edward T. Cone Foundation.
At the Institute, the composers will hear their work in NJSO rehearsals, receive feedback from Music Director Lacombe and musicians, participate in coaching sessions and master classes with Institute Director Steven Mackey and meet with music-publishing industry leaders.
On June 28, NJSO Music Director Jacques Lacombe and Institute Director Steven Mackey chatted with WWFM’s Rachel Katz about this unique program. Listen to the interview at wwfm.org (June 28 episode).
WORLD-PREMIERE SATURDAY
Four world premieres in one night!
The NJSO gives the world premieres of works by the composers of the NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute, a multi-faceted program that promotes new music and emerging composers. Four exciting composers offer dynamic new works; fresh from an intensive experience evolving their compositions through working sessions with the professional musicians of the NJSO, these composers realize the possibilities of a living art form. Each composer will briefly describe their piece in a concert that will illuminate their creative thought process.
