April 8th! Baron Fenwick, Pianist: New Voices from Around the Globe

Acclaimed pianist Baron Fenwick presents an eclectic, dynamic program of music spanning the globe in partnership with the NYC Contemporary Music Symposium. We are very excited to announce this first concert, and want to extend our umpteenth thank you to all the composers and musicians that went into making this event happen. In large part due to the exceptionally warm response our inaugural piano event received, we are able to introduce a dozen more affordable opportunities such as this in the coming months! We are very excited about what is to come, but we couldn’t possibly be any more excited for Baron’s first show, showcasing the work of these NYCCMS composers.

Watch the event here, through Columbia’s livestream
