Commissions

Arts & Lectures believes that fostering the creation of new work and facilitating its performance are fundamental to inspired presenting. Therefore we annually commission an artist to choreograph, write music or create a theater piece.

In May 2006, Mark O’Connor will present a new work commissioned by Arts & Lectures. This as yet unnamed piece will be performed by Mr. O’Connor and his Appalachia Waltz Trio. »
