Composer's Voice Concert Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Composer's Voice Concert Series is a concert series in New York City which presents contemporary chamber music. The series is produced by Vox Novus and was founded in 2001 by the composer Robert Voisey.[1] Currently directed by Voisey, Composer's Voice holds concerts at The Firehouse Space on the third Thursday of every month.[2] John de Clef Pineiro, in New Music Connoisseur, wrote, "[Vox Novus offers] the presentation of serious works by established and emerging composers. Those voices should be heard, and they can even be reheard on the Vox Novus website that generously offers complete audio recordings and even full scores of works presented by Vox Novus at its concerts."[3]

Called "One of the premier showcases for promising composers" by Time Out New York,[4] Composer's Voice is a venue for composers to have their work heard and to collaborate with other composers, musicians and artists.

Composer’s Voice concerts are always contradistinct, each necessarily presenting a different set of composers, forces and styles. Where they do not differ is in that the concerts are presented with intelligence and invention. This approach towards curating a concert is truly refreshing, fulfilling expectations but also offering the unexpected, suffusing the evening with both the light and the dark, the lean and the dense, deep ideas and straight-up fun.

— David Mecionis, SoundWordSight[5]

In the article "Composer's Voice is fresh!", Brant Lyon describes a performance at Composer's Voice by the composer and performer Gelsey Bell "...like putting one's ear to the ground to hear what's coming in the distance or snuggling the side of your head against a pregnant woman's belly —except in reverse — for the dissipation, not anticipation. The sounds of her voice resonating with the piano's had the opposite effect in me: to inspire movement forward. I was hearing something new."[6]

The Composer's Voice Concert Series has featured the works of hundreds of composers. Notable composers featured include: Annea Lockwood, Augusta Read Thomas, Liana Alexandra, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, Eve Beglarian, George Brunner, Noah Creshevsky, Emma Lou Diemer, Moritz Eggert, Daniel Goode, Peri Mauer,[7] Mike McFerron, Christian McLeer, David Morneau, Marco Oppedisano, Faye-Ellen Silverman, Allen Strange, Robert Voisey, and Rodney Waschka II.

The series highlights performers who champion the work of living composers. Notable performers include Robert Dick, Shiau-uen Ding,[8] Oren Fader, Beth Griffith, Monica Harte, Craig Hultgren, Eva Ingolf, Face the Music, Conway Kuo, Margaret Lancaster, Agueda Pages, Patrica Strange, West Point Woodwind Quintet,[9] and Sophia Yan.

Composer's Voice holds several annual concert celebrating themes. Composer's Voice 5th Annual Guitar Concert featured the guitarists Alturas Duo, Dan Cooper, Oren Fader and William Anderson playing the tiple.[10] Composer's Voice also has an annual Japanese themed concert, an all-women concert celebrated in March for Women's History Month, and an annual children's concert usually held in the fall.

In 2014, Composer's Voice presented the themed concert "Exploring New Timbres" at Carnegie Hall which featured the guitarist Kenji Haba and the cellist Susan Davita Mandell of the ensemble Duo Anova, and Sandy Hughes, Conway Kuo, and Satoshi Okamoto of the Bateria Trio.[11]

Composer's Voice also featured pianist Mathew McCright in 2019 at Weil Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall presenting the works of living composers: Kirsten Broberg, Kyong Mee Choi, Christopher Coleman, Sean Friar, Dorothy Hindman, Mike McFerron, Ingrid Stölzel, and Robert Voisey[12][13]

Composer's Voice featured the Chatterton-McCright Duo at the Mary Cary Flagler Hall in the DiMenna Center in 2021.[14]

Vox Novus has collaborated with several new music organizations to further its mission. The Composer's Voice Concert Series has been one of the company's vehicles for collaboration, including events with the Birmingham Art Music Alliance in 2003 and composer and the dance group Vision of Sound in 2012.[15]
