About the Show
20 Next Festival Performance Fellows, emerging string musicians selected from a nationwide call, will perform a 10th Anniversary program of world premieres for string orchestra. Headline artist and guitarist Yvette Young, considered "the vanguard of creativity for progressive music" by GuitarPlayer.com and hot off of a national tour with her math-rock band Covet, will play her first score for string orchestra LIVE. Performance Fellows will also debut new pieces by 2022 Pulitzer-Finalist Leilehua Lanzilotti, violinist and 2022 festival alum Che Buford, saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor, and Next Festival Artistic Director Peter Askim.
