213-237-2800 [map]

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Idyllwild Arts Academy, the young virtuosi of the Idyllwild Arts Academy Orchestra perform an unprecedented program of World Premieres. Performing a concert comprised exclusively of works commissioned by and written for the orchestra, the IAAO proves why it's consistently on the cutting edge of New Music.

In the tradition of the works previously composed for the orchestra by Richard Daniepour, Ezra Laderman, Christopher Theofanidis, Peter Askim, Bruce Adolphe and Lawrence Dillon, the 2011 Anniversary Concert will feature premieres of works by Rufus Reid, Peter Askim, Pierre Jalbert and Jan Radzynski. Spanning traditions and crossing genres, the program is a microcosm of the world of Contemporary American Music, and a celebration of the diversity of cultures and styles that Idyllwild Arts represents.

The program includes the World Premiere of a new orchestral work by renowned jazz bassist Rufus Reid. A recipient of a Guggenheim Award, Reid's new work blends and blurs the boundaries of jazz and classical orchestral music.

Recipient of the Rome Prize, the BBC Masterprize, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Stoeger Award and a 2010 American Academy of Arts and Letters award, composer Pierre Jalbert's astonishingly beautiful music is at once immediately accessible and refreshingly new.

A native of Poland and former resident of Israel, Jan Radzynski writes music that transcends borders, cultures and time itself. His new work for violin and orchestra is intellectually probing, cross-cultural and deeply moving.

Music Director and Composer-in-Residence Peter Askim will premiere his Viola Concerto, commissioned and performed by Viola Soloist Roger Myers. Myers is chair of the string department at the University of Texas at Austin and widely regarded as one of the foremost performers and teachers of his generation.
