I’m thrilled to announce the world premiere of Deliverance at American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall – Oct 27, 2026! rt by the American Composers Orchestra, a renowned ensemble dedicated to presenting bold new works by today’s leading composers and voices in American music.

Deliverance — an orchestral piece inspired by and incorporating material from my electronic composition Rite to Freedom — will make its Carnegie Hall debut in Zankel Hall, offering audiences a vibrant fusion of electronic roots and rich orchestral expression. This moment marks a milestone in my artistic journey, and I’m beyond excited to share this music on one of the world’s most iconic stages.

The American Composers Orchestra represents endless possibility—and no two performances are ever alike. Tonight, hear the legendary new-music ensemble and conductor Kedrick Armstrong premiere five new works by exciting American composers, joined by electric violinist Tracy Silverman, Vietnamese instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ, clarinetist Andrzej Ciepliński, vocalist Mali Irene, and percussionist Sidney Hopson. These new works explore the ways in which music is designed to bring people together in specific settings, from memorials and weddings to town halls and street dances. By exploring music from these gatherings on the Zankel Hall concert stage, they reframe the idea of a “concert gathering” and offer a unique window into this nearly universal human experience.
