Alex Mincek Composer Portrait

Heralded as the “new garde of the New York avant-garde” by the New York Times, Alex Mincek draws on diverse textures, sources, and traditions; listeners might encounter echoes of anything from Morton Feldman to Stravinsky to jazz. With two world premieres — including a CMA commissioned “Images of Duration”* quartet and a Miller Theatre commissioned octet — this Portrait presents the freshest sounds from New York’s cutting-edge musicians.
