UCLA George Lewis

Join the Bent Frequency Duo (Jan Berry Baker, saxophone and Stuart Gerber, percussion) and friends for a night of music featuring George E. Lewis. The concert includes world premieres by George E. Lewis, emily koh, and Alvin Singleton.

For five decades, George E. Lewis has been at the forefront of the American New Music scene. Noted for his ferocious improvisations on trombone, early forays into computer music in the 1970s, and continued work in experimental music, Lewis has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Guggenheim Fellow, was named a fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2015, and a corresponding fellow in the British Academy in 2016.

emily koh (b. 1986) is a Singaporean composer+ based in Atlanta, Georgia whose music reimagines everyday experiences by sonically expounding tiny oft-forgotten details, and explores binary states such as extremities/boundaries and activity/stagnation. She especially enjoys collaborating with creatives of other specializations.
