Composer’s Commission concert next week, new publications

Our 2013 Composer’s Commission concert is rapidly approaching, and we have some good news!

Firstly: Please join us next week, September 8th, for the premiere of Albert Guinovart’s exciting new piano work, Skyshadows. The concert will be held at the Instituto Cervantes at 7 pm. Tickets are $15 to the public ($10 ICNY members). They are available online, by phone (212-308-7720), or may be purchased in person at the institute until 6:30 pm the day of the concert, so be sure to plan ahead!

For Skyshadows, Guinovart drew inspiration from the ever shifting landscape of shadows cast by the buildings of NYC, creating a light, tuneful work that begins with a nod to Cole Porter’s “I Happen to Like New York.” With his program of old and new Catalonian works, Guinovart continues a century-long musical dialog between Iberia and New York.

Today’s issue of El Diario featured an article on Guinovart and our Composer’s Commission series, so be sure to check it out.

Lastly–because, who can get enough of seeing their name in print?–we would like to offer a sneak preview of the work, which is soon to be published by international powerhouse Music Sales. Further information to come.
