About this year's workshop:

The S.E.M. Ensemble’s Reading of New Compositions was initiated in 1997 and has continued, every season, to the present. During the three-day workshop each composer is provided with time and space to work directly with the conductor and musicians. The workshop culminates in a reading-performance, open to the public. This year’s reading includes works by an international group of composers who reside in the New York area and the Midwest: Colin Tucker, Chung Eun Kim, Yang Ming and Tai-Kuang Chao. It also includes an accordion, trumpet and clarinet trio by Australian/Sri Lankan composer Nirmali Fenn. Additionally Ushio Torikai's new work Remember for baritone and orchestra will be performed.

 
Program:

Colin Tucker                engulfed, constrained in a widening gap
Chung Eun Kim           pieta
Yang Ming                   lapse of time
Tai-Kuang Chao          walking in the mist cloaked in falling blossoms
Ushio Torikai               Remember
