World Premiere Performance of Yarn by Marcos Balter (excerpt) from June 2023 - Come hear it live on Oct. 11 in Philly and Oct. 12 in NYC! (Llinck b_looww)Hailed by The New Yorker as “ever-adventurous,” PRISM Quartet presents a pay-what-you-wish program of extraordinary works composed for the ensemble on 10/11 at the Germantown Branch of Settlement Music School in Philadelphia and 10/12 at Christ & St. Stephen’s Church in NYC. The program consists of Yarn by Marcos Balter, Tarnish by Nina C. Young, KEEN by Roshanne Etezady, Fair and Balanced? by Frank J. Oteri, and Graffiti II by Roberto Sierra.PRISM tenor saxophonist Matt Levy writes, “the works on the program are among the group’s most meaningful commissions. Each resonates deeply and tests the bounds of what is possible on the saxophone. The program’s title is a nod to Ms. Young’s work, Tarnish, which is about revealing hidden beauty, beauty that is ephemeral, vanishing into the ether. All of the works on the program touch on this idea, including Yarn by Marcos Balter, a lament for the late saxophonist Ryan Muncy that explores the fragility of yarn as a metaphor for the fragility of life itself. PRISM recently recorded both works, along with Mr. Sierra’s Graffiti II for a 2026 release on XAS. KEEN and Fair and Balanced? appear on previously released PRISM albums.”Marcos Balter is the Fritz Reiner Professor of Musical Composition at Columbia University whose work has been praised by The Washington Post as “dark and deeply poetic.” Mr. Balter describes his work, Yarn: “The type of fiber and the tightness of the thread dictate a yarn’s character. While thicker and tighter yarns are more durable, a quality yarn is typically loose and lightweight; fragility and exquisiteness are intrinsically correlated, where the ultimate price of refinement is ephemerality.” The work’s title is an anagram of saxophonist Ryan Muncy’s first name; Yarn is dedicated to his memory.Timothy McAllister Zach Shemon Matthew Levy #taimursullivan#newmusic #sax ...

For Your GRAMMY® ConsiderationWe wanted to let you know that PRISM Quartet has a number of recordings in the running for GRAMMY® nominations this year.

We appreciate you listening (link below)!First Round: October 3-15---------------------El Eco de Un Tambor by Miguel Zenón (XAS)*Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance*Best Instrumental CompositionMiguel Zenón & PRISM QuartetOver the last decade these five saxophonists have discovered a scintillating chemistry. It would be reductive to refer to their collaboration as simply a melding of jazz and classical traditions; theirs is a meeting of exploration-minded virtuosity and discovery.— Shaun Brady---------------------TITLE by Adam Silverman (XAS)*Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble PerformancePRISM QuartetWhat do words have to do with our perception? How do they lead us (or not) down certain paths? These are only a few of the questions that Adam Silverman discreetly poses in TITLE (2022), inspired by random puzzles from Wordle, the wildly popular online game.— Bruce Hodges---------------------Self-Portraits 1964, Unfinished by Martin Bresnick (Navona)*Best Contemporary Classical Composition (Bresnick)*Best Choral performance (full album)The Crossing and PRISM QuartetSetting words by Herman Melville, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Thomas Hardy, and James Joyce, Bresnick explores the uncannily organic marriage of saxophones and voices, effectively interweaving two disparate instruments, both carried by breath.The Crossing #AdamSilverman #martinbresnick Miguel Zenon Timothy McAllister #taimursullivan Zach Shemon Matthew Levy#foryourconsideration #grammy #sax #recordingartist #newmusic Conn Selmer Symphonic Distribution Spotify Apple Music ...
