“I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.”

–David Lynch

For Immediate Release - New York, NY - On Friday, September 12, at 7 p.m., Composers Concordance, in association with Vox Novus, continues its jam-packed fall season with 21st Century Solo Electric Guitar—a bold program featuring new compositions by Peter Jarvis, Jane Getter, Milica Paranosic, Gene Pritsker, David Shohl, and Robert Voisey, as well as works by the winners of the Vox Novus Short Guitar Compositions Competition: Nantenaina Andriamorasata from Madagascar and Rodrigo Baggio from Brazil.

Featured compositions include Jane Getter’s 'Extreme Whisper', performed as a duet with Jane and Gene; Milica Paranosic’s 'Duet for (One)'; and two of Pritsker’s 'Ballades' for guitar.

Composer Gene Pritsker has written over one thousand compositions, including chamber operas, orchestral and chamber works, electro-acoustic music and songs for hip-hop and rock ensembles. His compositions employ an eclectic spectrum of styles, that are influenced by his studies of various musical cultures. He is the founder and leader of Sound Liberation, an eclectic hip hop-chamber-jazz-rock-etc ensemble, co-directs Composers Concordance, and is a co-founder and composer-in-residence of the Grammy-nominated Absolute Ensemble. Gene is also a guitarist/rapper/Di.J./ and producer, and incorporates each of these musical attributes to create music that is “not designed for easy listening or to melt into the background. It is insistent. It demands attention and curiosity.” -New York Newsday. Gene worked closely with jazz fusion legend Joe Zawinul, and has orchestrated major Hollywood movies, including 'Cloud Atlas', for which he wrote his 'Cloud Atlas Symphony’ and the 2021 film 'The Matrix Resurrections.’

The concert will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook Page.

Staying in rotation for 42 years in NYC is a rare feat. In the case of a new music presenting organization, it requires not only diligence and cognizance of achievements of the past but also an ethic of keeping one's ear to the ground for emerging stylistic and technological developments, as well as talented new composers on the scene. Composers Concordance, founded in 1984 by Joseph Pehrson and Patrick Hardish, advised by Otto Luening, strives to present contemporary music in innovative ways, with an emphasis on thematic programming. Directors Gene Pritsker and Dan Cooper co-curate the programs and lead the CompCord Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, String Orchestra, and Big Band. Associate Directors are Milica Paranosic, Peter Jarvis, Debra Kaye, Seth Boustead, and Audrey Morse. Composers Concordance has also created a Naxos-distributed record label: Composers Concordance Records. Composers Concordance's overriding vision is to promote contemporary music, composers, and new works as a rightful and respected part of society. Good music performed and recorded well, pushing the boundaries of sound and composition.

"Composers Concordance..a veritable New York new music institution of concerts, album production and multiple ensembles under a sweeping, tenacious brand, thriving on the emulsion of contemporary classical, free improv, jazz and rock, overt humor and fearless political statements, all very much in evidence..The ensemble..was masterful throughout.”- John Pietaro, The New York City Jazz Record

"An unwavering force in giving composers exposure through concert bookings and its own record label, the intrepid new-music organization Composers Concordance” - The Brooklyn Rail

"The Composers Concordance folks are unpredictable and at times refreshingly irreverent in a reverent sort of way....ingenious fun" - Classical-Modern Music Review

“Enterprising new music organization” - The New York Times
