About the Event:

Lontano’s Biennial Festival – created in 2006 – explores and celebrates the work of major American composers and reflects the diversity of style that is so characteristic of contemporary American music today. The festival programme was put together by Lontano’s Music Director Odaline de la Martinez, one of Britain’s most dynamic and gifted musicians and the first woman to conduct a complete BBC Prom at the Royal Festival Hall. This year’s festival also celebrates Odaline de la Martinez’s 65th Anniversary.

This festival will focus on contemporary American music, with several works by composers who are Yale alumni and ex-faculty, such as: Steven Burke, Derek Bermel, Caroline Shaw, Daniel Asia, amongst others.
