Onstage discussion with Arlene Sierra and David Garland
Arlene Sierra (b. 1970) is an especially gifted composer. With an ear for color, her music is full of punch and grit. Drawing from many various sources, her works are influenced by Chinese battle tactics, the poetry of Pablo Neruda, birds, and stained glass windows. Miller-favorite International Contemporary Ensemble sheds light on this young and intriguing composer in a program with a world premiere commission.


Read this concert's program notes by Paul Griffiths.

Major support for the Composer Portraits series is provided by the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trust. Additional support is provided by The Aaron Copland Fund for Music. This commission is made possible by The Cheswatyr Foundation.
