This past summer composers of all ages and experience from 11 southern states submitted short entries – composed rapidly in 14 days! The four finalist works – by composers Alan Elkins, Jon Jeffrey Grier, Paul Richards, and Seyed Safavynia – will be performed for judging live at the October 4th concert. Judges include the distinguished American composer Michael Gandolfi, Atlanta Opera General Director Dennis Hanthorn, and Director of Channel Classics Records Jared Sacks. The audience will vote and award the Audience Prize, as well! The first-prize winning composer will be awarded a commission to expand and "finish" the work for premiere performance at the final concert of the ACP season, on April 28, 2010. We will open this "Rapido!" program with Beethoven's masterful 14 Variations for piano trio, followed by works from Atlanta School of Composers Michael Gandolfi and Jennifer Higdon, familiar to Atlanta audiences through recent ASO performances. Our audience will also be treated to the Southeastern premiere of Gandolfi's 2009 “History of the World in Seven Acts,” a sextet for winds, strings, piano and percussion, which combines chamber music with a fascinating 14 minute computer animation. Higdon's “Southern Harmony” for string quartet features Southern flavors – from pensive, longing intensity to fiddling and toe tapping rhythms. Musicians performing include Paula Peace, piano and Artistic Director; Christina Smith, flute; Alcides Rodriguez, bass clarinet; Elizabeth Koch, oboe; Justin Bruns, violin; John Meisner, violin; Catherine Lynn, viola; Brad Ritchie, cello; and Tom Sherwood, percussion. The Atlanta Chamber Players, a mixed ensemble including top Atlanta Symphony Orchestra musicians, offer an innovative season of artistically excellent chamber music including beloved classics, exciting contemporary works, and commissioned pieces.
