PRISM Pick!This Sunday, our friends at Network for New Music are presenting an extraordinary wide-ranging program called SOLOS IN SOLIDARITY.Spread the word!Sunday, May 17, 20263:00 PMSettlement Music School - Germantown6128 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144NNM writes: Join us for our season closer! As Philadelphia approaches its 250th anniversary, Solos in Solidarity becomes both celebration and reflection: a musical portrait of a city shaped by many voices, histories, and communities. Through intimate, virtuosic, and deeply personal works, the program captures the spirit of Philadelphia not as a single narrative, but as a rich, evolving chorus, where each solo performance stands alone, yet resonates as part of a larger, shared identity.Featuring works by Erin Busch, Curt Cacioppo, Avner Dorman, Allison Loggins-Hull, Steven Mackey, Nick Millevoi, Thomas Schuttenhelm, and George Walker performed by a host of Network friends, new and old!Info/Tickets: networkfornewmusic.orgAbout Network for New Music:Recognized for their dynamic performances of contemporary compositions by both emerging and established composers, Network for New Music continues to be Philadelphia's "premier new music organization" (Philadelphia Inquirer). Founded in 1984, the flexible ensemble has presented over 700 works and recorded four CDs for Albany Records and on the Innova label. In addition to presenting "tomorrow's music today", the Network Ensemble has had educational residencies at the Mann Center (All-City-Orchestra-Summer-Academy), the Curtis Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Swarthmore College, West Chester University, and since 2007, it has maintained an ongoing residency at Haverford College.Tell them Matt, Tim, Zach, and Taimur sent you!#newmusicalert Network for New Music ...
