George Lewis // International Contemporary Ensemble // Park Avenue Armory

Date: December 18, 2023
Time: 7:00 pm

ARTISTS STUDIO: GEORGE LEWIS / AMINA CLAUDINE MYERS

Park Avenue Armory
643 Park Avenue, NYC

On the first half of the program, the International Contemporary Ensemble will present the US premiere of George Lewis’s Blombos Workshop (2020) for piano, which engages an overarching concern of Jamaican critical theorist Sylvia Wynter—the promise and potential of the human. This is followed by his Assemblage (2013) for nonet, which presents the sounds of contingency, heterogeneity, nonlinearity, emergence, and bricolage.
