(World Premiere) Curtis Stewart's "Essay #1: Leave the People" Performed at Kaufman Music Center NYC

Curtis Stewart’s Essay #1: Leave the People takes the audience through a multi-part logical argument about the nature of academia in classical music: who is remembered, who is lauded, who is leading the way? Who is used and who is left behind, and does it matter? Stewart was inspired to write the piece after the lawsuits around affirmative action directed at schools, which got him thinking about how these institutions commend other creatives that are deeply influenced by Black music. He says, “So, I asked myself: What would American music be without Blackness? What would American conservatories be without blackness? What would American classical music be without blackness?” The Next Festival of Emerging Artists, a trailblazing arts immersion program for early-career string musicians, composers, and choreographers, launched an expansive 12th season from June 1–14, 2024. The Next Festival of Emerging Artists, founded in 2013, provides 20 young string performers (ages 20-30), selected from a global open call, with a countryside residency, New York performance tour, and groundbreaking cross-disciplinary workshop with early-career composers and choreographers chosen by leaders in the field.
