In 2009, LVMH will support the commission of a new work by composer Erin Gee and its premiere by ACO at the orchestra's season-opening concert at 7:30pm on Monday, November 30 at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall (57th St. and 7th Ave.).
The second composer will be selected through a national search, with the commissioning guidelines and theme to be announced at a press conference on November 16th, the groups noted.
Renaud Dutreil, Chairman of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton in North America said: "LVMH and American Composers Orchestra share a commitment to supporting emerging American artists. For LVMH, this stems directly from our work to foster creative passion and exalt artistic endeavor. We consider it a great privilege to help artists begin their careers, and offer them the opportunity to express and develop the full scope of their talent." Dutreil added: "LVMH is extremely proud to embark on this partnership with the American Composers Orchestra, an organization that has distinguished itself in its decades of pioneering work to create new opportunities for young composers."
ACO's strategic focus is the creation of new opportunities for emerging American composers. Its programs have consistently pushed the boundaries of the conventional orchestra. Throughout ACO's three decades, the orchestra has been renowned for its commitment to innovation and for fostering of the most adventurous new American music, including numerous premieres by early-career composers who have gone on to major world acclaim.
