BETA Quartet has been endorsed to premiere three (3) new commissioning works for the 2024-2025 Anthems of Dialogue initiative.
This innovative project features works by narrative-driven composer, pedagogue, and flutist Erin Spencer, DownBeat® Magazine Award Winner and saxophonist Caroline Davis, and Latin GRAMMY® Award-Winning contemporary classical composer and flutist, José Valentino.
Each new work powerfully explores how music can bridge community gaps and drive societal progress by addressing urgent contemporary themes.
| anti-oppressive | absolute zero | revoluliberation | by Davis confronts the urgency of dismantling systems of control, emphasizing the critical role of communication in the fight for justice.
Borrowed Earth by Spencer reflects on the impact of our actions on future generations and our responsibility as caretakers of the planet.
Power Surge by Valentino captures the unpredictability of our current global turmoil, blending cultural influences and transforming music into a vehicle for reflection and meaningful change.
