It's an absolute honor to receive our 2nd @chamber

It's an absolute honor to receive our 2nd @chambermusicamerica Classical Commissioning Grant with the incredible @iderrickskye.💛🎉🙏

Derrick creates some of the most captivating and immersive sounds we've heard. He seamlessly integrates cultural traditions and electronic techniques from around the world into his classical compositions, and we're so excited for him to create a new 20-minute reed quintet masterwork.

Not to mention, his work "Prisms Cycles Leaps" was just performed by the @londonsymphonyorchestra a few weeks ago, and his Electro-Acoustic Opera "Song of the Ambassadors" just premiered at @lincolncenter! 👏👏👏

We know these grants are so competitive, and we're always blown away by the level of artistry of the works created from this program. It means so much to have been selected to bring a second large-scale reed quintet composition to life. In 2018, we received this grant to create a new reed quintet with @jeffscott_composer. His groundbreaking work "Homage to Paradise Valley" made a significant cultural impact alongside the brilliant @marsha_music and has meant so much to us as we've toured it around the country over the past few years.

Be on the lookout for Derrick's new work in 2023 and see the full list of grantees here ~ https://chambermusicamerica.org/
