Having “consistently championed contemporary music with consistent excellence” (The New York Times), the American Composers Orchestra has a long history of exploring the sonic frontiers of American music, championing both emerging composers and prolific compositional voices of our time. This ensemble is led by dynamic conductor Robert Spano for a program that includes world premieres by Battles guitarist Ian Williams and Irish composer Peter Fahey, as well as Christopher Theofanidis’s Muse, a work that takes Bach’s Third Brandenberg Concerto as its inspiration.
