Akropolis is proud to be the ensemble-in-residence at the I-Park Foundation’s 2018 Composers + Musicians Collaborative Residency. This summer, composers Theo Chandler, Natalie Draper, Michael Gilbertson, Niloufar Nourbakhsh and Octavio Vazquez will spend two weeks at I-Park in an intensely collaborative exchange with the Akropolis Reed Quintet, rehearsing, recording, and refining new concert works for a pair of all-premiere performances in Connecticut and New York City.

The composers hail from the U.S., Spain and Iran, and have won numerous awards among them. Their works have been performed at venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Tanglewood, and have been featured in numerous recordings and on film.
