Anthony McGill, Demarre McGill, Titus Underwood, & Andrew Brady | Jasmine Barnes Commission

The project we will be embarking upon is a new kind of commission project - at its core will be the musical commission of a new Concertante - a 15-20 min concerto for four brilliant and trailblazing principals of major US orchestras + chamber orchestra: Titus Underwood, Anthony McGill, Demarre McGill, and Andrew Brady. The work will be written by Jasmine Barnes and is meant to be a dynamic new addition to the repertoire, celebrating these unique artists and tailored to their artistry, for premiere in Summer 2024 and Summer 2025.

This project emerged from the artists' collective desire to create a new commission paradigm and to support premiere performances with an additional mini-residency including meaningful interactions and mentoring with young artists, local communities, and audience members (i.e. masterclasses, teaching, coaching, leadership development, etc).
