The Ensemble will be traveling from New York City to perform the works of Los Angeles composers in HEAR NOW 2024.

A Note from Hugh Levick, Artistic Director of HEAR NOW: “We are pleased to present the outstanding International Contemporary Ensemble from New York, and an orchestral work by George Lewis, their artistic director. As Lewis says in his opera AFTERWORD, ‘this music has a lot to do with disrupting any status quo or system…Our purpose is to awaken the psyche.’ In other words, the materiality of sound infused with Spirit becomes music, and the music of HEAR NOW offers an expression of plenitude and abundance, that is, our true nature.” Alex Ross in The New Yorker calls Lewis “one of the most formidable figures in modern music…”
