The program includes additional premieres by DownBeat Critics Poll winner (rising star on the tenor) Grant Stewart, a saxophonist/composer whose collaborators have included Jimmy Cobb, Renee Fleming, Clark Terry, Etta Jones, Brad Mehldau, and Harry Connick, Jr.; composer/conductor and winner of PRISM Quartet’s Robert Capanna Commissioning Award Teddy Poll, who served as resident conductor with the Houston Grand Opera and assistant conductor at the Glimmerglass Festival and San Francisco Opera; and 18-year-old Henry Vidaver, winner of the PRISM Quartet/Walden School Student Commissioning Award. Rounding out the program is Emily Cooley’s Dissolve from the Quartet’s recent single on XAS Records.
