US Premiere of For Grachan Moncur III

  • 92NY Center for Culture & Arts 1395 Lexington Avenue New York, NY, 10128 United States (map)

A US premiere from brilliant composer, multi-instrumentalist, and MacArthur Fellow Tyshawn Sorey in performance with JACK Quartet – the ensemble thrillingly presenting chamber music for the 21st century. Celebrated for his extraordinary ability to blend composition and improvisation, Sorey furthers his longtime collaboration with the modern string quartet champions with For Grachan Moncur III (Everything Changes, Nothing Changes II). Following a world premiere at the Lucerne Festival in summer 2022, the work is in homage to Moncur – the late composer and trombonist who blazed a trail through modern jazz in the 1960s, shares Sorey’s Newark, NJ roots, and had a major influence on Sorey’s musical development.
