Connecting ACO Community - Lembit Beecher & Seth Parker Woods

Sunday, 12 July 2020, 5.00pm

In response to the impacts of COVID-19 on composers and performers, American Composers Orchestra announces Connecting ACO Community, a new initiative to commission short works for solo instrument or voice. Each composer will receive $500 to write the work, and each performer will receive $500 to perform the work, with the rights to stream for six months. With this project, ACO aims to support artists who need financial assistance; to create new work that will live beyond this crisis; and provide virtual, interactive performances to ACO’s supporters and the general public.

This event will include the world premiere of Lembit Beecher's new work for cellist Seth Parker Woods and an exclusive Q&A with the composer and performer, hosted by Ed Yim and Derek Bermel.

Ticketholders will receive a private link to join the performance, and all of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go solely to fund artists involved in this project. If the $5 entrance fee poses a barrier to participation, please fill out an anonymous form at bit.ly/ACOConnectComp or email Aiden Feltkamp at [email protected].
