Chicago Composers: The Next Generation

“Chicago Composers: the Next Generation” celebrates the work of composers in the Crossing Borders Music Young Composers Project.

In the project, youth from music programs in North Lawndale and Garfield Park receive weekly composition lessons and write a piece for the Crossing Borders Music string quartet. Hear their fresh, new approaches to an age-old genre!

Plus, hear music commissioned by Crossing Borders Music of emerging African-American composers including brand new works by Jessica T Carter, AJ Isaacson-Zvidzwa, and more!
