They will perform the World Premiere of the recently completed “Resonate Suite, ” composed for the Nonet by Ms. Rushen as part of a collaboration between Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings (DCWS) and The Carr Center, that explores the African Diaspora through the lens of contemporary American chamber music.
The classically trained artist is among seven American composers commissioned to create new works to be performed by each of the collaborators during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. Collaborators include Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, The Carr Center, Oberlin Conservatory, Bowling Green State University, The University of Michigan/Ann Arbor, Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University.
