Award-winning pianist and conductor Lucas Amory is quickly establishing himself in New York City as a versatile and multi-talented performer. Today’s eclectic program contrasts the atmospheric Etudes of Debussy and the ecstatic “Traced Overhead” by British composer Thomas Adès, with the rigorous structures of Bach. It concludes with the first of Beethoven’s late period piano sonatas, Op. 101, a deeply personal work which the composer himself described as “a series of impressions and reveries.”

New York, NY — Composers Concordance presents Beat Gene Pritsker: Think Beat Bobby Flay, but replace the kitchen with a concert stage, the secret ingredients with musical challenges, and the celebrity chef with composer Gene Pritsker. This Halloween, Composers Concordance invites composers to enter the musical arena for 'Beat Gene Pritsker', an evening of competition, surprise, audience participation, and musical mayhem. Four composers—Charles Coleman, Ginka Mizuki, Audrey Morse, and Will Rowe—will face off against Gene in a series of musical challenges. But this isn't your ordinary composition concert. The contestants won't always know which instruments will perform their music, and as the rounds progress, the challenges get bigger, longer, and more complicated.
