Fifty-four composers, including Elliott Carter, Steve Reich, Joan Tower, Chen Yi, Stephen Sondheim, John Zorn, Wynton Marsalis and Meredith Monk will convene in New York for an unprecedented nine-concert festival. ‘A Great Day in New York.’ The series was partly inspired by the classic 1959 photograph ‘A Great Day in Harlem’ which brought together some of the great jazz players of the day.” – Sonicnet
