Anthony De Ritis’s Jiggedy, Jingle, Jaunty, Jaunty, a world premiere for orchestra and electronics, pays homage to two 20th-century giants, James Joyce and Luciano Berio ,through a dialogue that stretches across time. BMOP welcomes soprano Julia Bullock for Samuel Barber’s iconic Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a setting of James Agee’s 1938 prose text whose childlike recollection of a summer evening remains one of Barber’s most beloved creations. In addition, Ms. Bullock also performs two movements from Matt Aucoin’s The No One’s Rose, settings of poems by Paul Celan that explore memory, language, and loss. The evening concludes with Charles Wuorinen’s Delight of the Muses, a homageto Mozart based on material from Don Giovanni. Outlandish, sentimental, and a rousing good time, this ballet shows this iconic American composer at his irreverent best.

New York, NY — Composers Concordance continues its adventurous series of concerts with 'Inspired by Miles,' an evening celebrating the restless imagination and far-reaching musical legacy of Miles Davis. On Monday, November 23, 2026, at 7p.m., the series brings composers, improvisers, and poets together at The Bitter End (147 Bleecker Street, NYC.) At the center of the evening is keyboardist and composer Adam Holzman, whose connection to Davis is firsthand: he performed with Davis from 1985 to 1989, appeared on Tutu, and became the band’s musical director in 1988. Holzman brings that lived experience of Davis’s late-period music to a program that treats his influence not as a museum piece, but as an open invitation to experiment, respond, and invent.
