The American Composers Orchestra (ACO) represents endless possibilities through its first concert of the Carnegie Hall season including world premieres by rising composers Paul Novak and Kebra-Seyoun Charles, who joins on bass. ACO welcomes guitarist Mak Grgic in a New York premiere by Michael Abels, who won a 2023 Pulitzer Prize for his work with Rhiannon Giddens. The orchestra also performs the New York premiere of Ukrainian composer Victoria Poleva’s The Bell with cellist Inbal Segev, who premiered the piece in 2023 with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. To date, the ensemble has performed works by more than 800 American composers—a stunning number that becomes even more amazing upon seeing the list of names.

Mei-Ann Chen, Conductor Curtis Stewart, Violin Inbal Segev, Cello Kebra-Seyoun Charles, Bass Mak Grgic, Guitar
