Festival Pass (7 Events): Connecting ACO Community Volume 3
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.The Festival Pass provides access to all 7 events in Volume 3 of the series:Sunday, August 2, 2020 at 5pm ETTanner Porter & Eric Jacobsen, cello and Aoife O'Donovan, voice$5 ticketsSunday, August 9, 2020 at 5pm ETVincent Calianno & Mike Seltzer, trombone$5 ticketsSunday, August 16, 2020 at 5pm ETWynton Guess & Aaron Diehl, piano$5 ticketsSunday, August 23, 2020 at 5pm ETAmina Figarova & Susan Palma Nidel and Laura Conwesser, flutes$5 ticketsSunday, August 30, 2020 at 5pm ETDawn Norfleet & Clarice Assad, voice$5 ticketsSunday, September 13, 2020 at 5pm ETGuy Mintus & Kelly Hall-Tompkins, violin$5 ticketsSunday, October 4, 2020 at 5pm ETBrian Nabors & Sextet of ACO Musicians: Debbie Wong, violin; Sandy Robbins, viola; Gene Moye, cello; Harry Searing, bassoon; Diva Goodfriend Koven, flute; Susan Jolles, harp$5 ticketsTicketholders 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.
