Chelsea presents the New York launch and live recording session of her American Mavericks project dedicated to modern Black American composers.  

The program will showcase a range of styles and influences, from the moody and tumultuous "Dream and Variations" by Dorothy Rudd Moore and the subtle jazz inflections of “Guido’s Hand: Five Pieces for Piano” by George Walker, to spiky works by Jonathan Bailey Holland and Joyce Solomon Moorman, concluding with Regina Harris Baiocchi’s contemplative “Azuretta.”

A reception will follow the performance.

All proceeds from this concert will go towards the American Mavericks commissioning fund. If you would like to make an additional contribution to the fund, please use this link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=88BPAQRZAVDZ8
