Series: Glenda Bates
A curator’s role is to present works that provide meaning to them, and hopefully convey some meaning or insight to the audience as well. Being a curator of contemporary works is especially exciting and important work, because we are creating the future canon of classical music. I am thrilled to present two series as part of my curatorship: 1) Contemporary Classical Salon Series, featuring works by living composers, and 2) Crossing Over, featuring Jazz composers with roots in Classical, Latin, and other art forms. My mission is to present, perform, and create music that is good for the soul and the intellect, and which reflects our universal consciousness. It is also important to keep the classical music tradition alive by featuring and supporting contemporary classical composers and musicians.
