Jennifer Koh Performs Works From "Alone Together"
About this event
Violinist Jennifer Koh is a forward-thinking artist dedicated to exploring a broad and eclectic repertoire, while promoting equity and inclusivity in classical music. In response to the coronavirus pandemic and the financial hardship it has placed on many in the arts community, Ms. Koh launched Alone Together, a commissioning project that brings composers together in support of the many freelancers among them.
Twenty composers, most of whom have salaried positions or other forms of institutional support to carry them through this challenging time, agreed to donate a new micro-work for solo violin, while also recommending a fellow freelance composer to write their own short solo violin work on paid commission from the artist-driven nonprofit ARCO Collaborative. The result is a collection of 40 works that embody the solo violin music of today. The New York Times called the series "a marvel for a time of crisis" and the lineup of composers "more inclusive than anything in mainstream classical music."
For this IDAGIO Global Concert Hall performance, Ms. Koh performs 19 of the works from the Alone Together project.
This event is presented as part of the Performance Reimagined series from GBH Music and IDAGIO.
Generously sponsored by Cynthia Strauss and Harry Sherr.
