A special night celebrating the release of Amaryllis and Belladonna, two new, modular, and interlocking projects by Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer and MacArthur fellow Mary Halvorson, both to be released on her debut collaboration with Nonesuch Records in May 2022. Halvorson will be joined by the Mivos Quartet and an all-star jazz sextet consisting of Halvorson (guitar), Adam O'Farrill (trumpet), Jacob Garchik (trombone), Patricia Brennan (vibes), Nick Dunston (bass) and Tomas Fujiwara (drums).Guitarist and composer Mary Halvorson has been described as “a singular talent” (Lloyd Sachs, JazzTimes), ”NYC’s least-predictable improviser” (Howard Mandel, City Arts), “one of the most exciting and original guitarists in jazz—or otherwise” (Steve Dollar, The Wall Street Journal), and “one of today’s most formidable bandleaders” (Francis Davis, The Village Voice). In recent DownBeat Critics Polls Halvorson has been celebrated as guitarist, rising star jazz artist, and rising star composer of the year, and in 2019 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Mivos Quartet, “one of America’s most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles” (The Chicago Reader), is devoted to performing works of contemporary composers and presenting new music to diverse audiences. Since the quartet's beginning in 2008 they have performed and closely collaborated with an ever-expanding group of international composers representing a wide aesthetic range of contemporary composition.
