On Friday, June 12th, at 7pm, Composers Concordance will present an evening wherein contemporary music, poetry, and improvisation collide in a vibrant live radio-show setting. Readings & Reeds brings together adventurous composers, dynamic reed performers, celebrated poets, and the winners of the first annual Joseph Pehrson Composition & Poetry Competition for a unique multidisciplinary experience in the heart of Chelsea. The event will take place at Jim Kempner Fine Arts Gallery and will be presented as a live episode of “Bar Crawl Radio,” hosted by Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson. Blending spoken word, chamber music, improvisation, and theatrical radio-show energy, Readings & Reeds celebrates the rich sonic possibilities of reed instruments alongside contemporary poetry and storytelling.
