Join Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble ACJW and pianist and composer Timo Andres for a discussion and workshop exploring different ways of interpreting and responding to music.

Created in 2007 by Carnegie Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director Clive Gillinson and The Juilliard School’s President Joseph W. Polisi, Ensemble ACJW is an inspirational collective of young professional musicians who are fellows in a two-year program that supports them in building careers as top-quality performers, innovative programmers, and dedicated teachers who fully engage with the communities in which they live and work.

Timo Andres is a Brooklyn-based pianist and composer. The New Yorker praised his debut 2010 album Shy and Mighty of achieving an “unhurried grandeur that has rarely been felt in American music since John Adams came on the scene.” His new works include a piano quintet for Jonathan Biss and the Elias String Quartet, commissioned and presented by Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and San Francisco Performances; a solo piano work for Kirill Gerstein, commissioned by the Gilmore Foundation; a new string quartet for the Library of Congress, premiered by the Attacca Quartet; and a new piece for yMusic.

Residency made possible by generous support from Beverly Sanders Payne ‘59 and David B. Payne.
