TCP launches a new concert initiative, Currents, as part of their Chicago Concert Season, featuring premieres of newly commissioned works by emerging composers and other unique, boundary-pushing repertoire from today's most creative thinkers. This first Currents concert includes new works by Adam Cuthbert and Third Coast's own Robert Dillon, as well as a new work commissioned through our Emerging Composers Partnership by Jonathan Pfeffer.  Percussionist extraordinaire Ross Karre joins TCP for Mark Applebaum's kooky and inventive Straitjacket, and contemporary flute master Rachel Beetz joins TCP for Tyshawn Sorey's Trio for Harold Budd.

This event is 18 and over, and may contain offensive language or other adult content.

This concert is supported in part by a grant from the Paul R. Judy Center for Applied Research at the Eastman School of Music. Jonathan Pfeffer’s new work was commissioned by New Music USA through Third Coast Percussion’s Emerging Composers Partnership. To follow the project as it unfolds visit the New Music USA project page. Ordering-instinctswas supported by the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at the University of Notre Dame, in honor of the center's 10th Anniversary Season.
