The Colburn School in downtown LA

The inaugural LA International New Music Festival is a journey of discovery: new music from around the world, new instruments, new artists, and 21st century composers alongside iconic composers of the 20th century.

Artistic Director Jeff von der Schmidt: "I was looking for a way to integrate Southwest experiences from Vienna to Vietnam, Phnom Penh to Washington D.C., Angkor Wat to UNAM in Mexico City, all connected by the reputation resulting from two Grammy Awards and seven nominations, three from the Latin Academy. Our 25th anniversary brings together the various local, national and international projects that define our ensemble."

Southwest has commissioned three of the works to be presented: The Song of Napalm (World Premiere) and Cracking Bamboo (WP) by Vietnamese composer Vu Nhat T�n; and South Korean composer Hyo-shin Na's Morning Study (WP).

T�n Th�t Ti�t's Miroir, M�moire, presented as a gift to Southwest, will also receive its world premiere. Southwest is pleased to present the west coast premiere of the 103-year-old Elliott Carter's Three Explorations, as well as the US premieres of Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz' Rio de las Mariposas and Rio Bravo. LA premieres include works by Kurt Rohde, Milton Babbitt, Peter Lieberson, Alexandra du Bois, T�n, and Na.
