The program, part of Roulette's partnership with the Jerome Commission initiative to support young composers, will largely consist of Burnetts new works that combine strict composition with bursts of spontaneous improvisation. The program will include: Embrace of the Goddess,Dance of the Supernals, Ace of Swords, I Thoth So,Juxtaposition
Aaron Burnett's performance is made possible with support from Jerome Foundation.
The Jerome Foundation, a long-time supporter of young composers, was a mainstay in Roulette's early development and continues to help us fulfill our mission by presenting ambitious work by promising artists. Each year, the Jerome Foundation supports four artist residencies and five commissions at Roulette. These artists are consistently some of the strongest in our repertoire, and we are delighted to honor the Jerome Foundation's 50th Anniversary grant.
