Featuring the Composers Now First Commission Award by Ebun Oguntola, performed by the New Thread Quartet.
Hosted by Founding Artistic Director Tania León, the January 27 event kicks off the 12th annual month-long festival with a diverse program and the annual Composers Now Visionary Award – presented, this year, to David Del Tredici and Mary D. Watkins. Given annually at the opening event of the festival, the award recognizes members of the arts community who, through their own creative practice and advocacy for others, have made a profound, positive and lasting impact in our culture.
The recipient of the 2022 Composers Now First Commission Award is Ebun Oguntola. Ebun is a 16-year-old contemporary classical composer, violinist, pianist and saxophonist living in upstate New York. Her music was brought to the attention of Composers Now by the founders of Luna Composition Lab, Missy Mazzoli and Ellen Reid. With mentorship from composer/saxophonist Erin Rogers, Ebun will create a chamber work that will receive its world premiere as part of the Opening Event of the 2022 Composers Now Festival.
This event will be livestreamed. Tickets ($15) are on sale HERE For more information, visit the Composers Now Event Page
This commissioning initiative is made possible through the generosity of Composers Now board member and composer Michael Minard.

Noisy, multi-instrumental, text-laden, Popebama applies the freshness of experimental sound and free spirit of improvisation to precise execution and formal composition. Since 2016, Erin Rogers and Dennis Sullivan have pooled their collective experience as composer-performer-improvisers to uncover new ground in both sound and performance. Joined by composer-performer-playwright Rick Burkhardt on accordion, the program will begin with an improvising trio, followed by a new work for multiphonics + percussion/electronics by Rogers. The event will culminate in the premiere of Wing, a ~30 minute journey of 2 playing/speaking instrumentalists, recounting visual details from a long-ago scene complete with imaginative excursions and daydream-y escapades; the fusion of instruments, sound, and text becoming a singular thought, in the seamless way Burkhardt has become known for.
