Connecting ACO Community: Ethan Iverson & Miranda Cuckson

Experience Ethan Iverson’s new work for violinist Miranda Cuckson live, followed by a Q&A with the composer and performer ($5)

Gather as a community online and experience the creation of new work!

In response to the impacts of COVID-19 on composers and performers, American Composers Orchestra announces Connecting ACO Community, a new initiative to commission short works for solo instrument or voice. Each composer will receive $500 to write the work, and each performer will receive $500 to perform the work, with the rights to stream for six months. With this project, ACO aims to support artists who need financial assistance; to create new work that will live beyond this crisis; and provide virtual, interactive performances to ACO’s supporters and the general public.

This first event will include the world premiere of Ethan Iverson’s new work for violinist Miranda Cuckson and an exclusive Q&A with Ethan and Miranda, hosted by Ed Yim and Derek Bermel.

Ticketholders will receive a private link to join the performance, and all of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go solely to fund artists involved in this project. If the $5 entrance fee poses a barrier to participation, please fill out an anonymous form at bit.ly/ACOConnectComp or email Aiden Feltkamp at [email protected].

The recorded session will be available within 24 hours after the performance on ACO’s website and social media platforms, as well as on MUSIC on the REBOUND: an online festival for participating in live events as well as a platform for streaming concerts.
