The American Modern Ensemble celebrates the 70th birthdays of six of American's greatest composers, all born in 1938. We will also release our first CD on our new American Modern Recordings (AMR) label, Powerhouse Pianists, featuring AME pianists Stephen Gosling and Blair McMillen and solo piano works by American composers Chester Biscardi, Lee Hyla, Eric Moe, Annie Gosfield, Mischa Zupko, Perry Townsend, George Tsontakis, Conlon Nancarrow, Joan Tower and David Rakowski. Blair and Stephen will also perform John Corigliano's Chiaroscuro for two pianos tuned a quarter-tone apart. Many of the composers will be there for this historic event.
