THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON!

Miller Theatre is proud to present three world premieres as part of its Pocket Concerto Project. Launched in the 2005-2006 season, the project was created to commission world-class composers to write new works for soloist and sinfonietta, inspired by such examples as György Ligeti’s Piano Concerto and John Adams’s Gnarly Buttons. Miller Theatre–favorites, including violinist Jennifer Koh and pianist Christopher Taylor, bring to life new works by composers Laura Elise Schwendinger, Ichizo Okashiro, and John Zorn. Don’t miss the third and final installment of Miller Theatre’s Pocket Concerto Project!

The Pocket Concerto Project is a major initiative of Miller Theatre’s longstanding commitment to commissioning and presenting new works. It is the Theatre’s goal to make lasting contributions to the repertoire.
