Chicago Composers: The Next Generation

Chicago Composers: The Next Generation shares the world premiere performances 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 the world premiere of "Lost and Found" by Jessica T. Carter!

Crossing Borders Music’s Young Composers Project is made possible through support from the Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University, the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, the John R. Halligan Charitable Fund, and the Amphion Foundation.
