Jan. 9, 2019 at the Amsterdam; Jennifer Koh: “Limitless” with Tyshawn Sorey and Vijay Iyer. Violinist Koh made her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11 and has appeared with the Minnesota Orchestra, among many others. For “Limitless,” presented at National Sawdust in Brooklyn earlier this year, she commissioned 10 composers, including jazz artists and MacArthur fellows Sorey and Iyer, to create new music to perform with her. Their works will be the centerpieces of this program, and they’ll add composed and improvised solos, duos and trios. On Jan. 11 and 12, Sorey and Iyer will also perform more new works with the SPCO and artistic partner Pekka Kuusisto. Nordstrum said, “One of the many reasons we created Liquid Music was to engage in conversation with what the SPCO is doing.” It’s a heavenly week for fans of Sorey and Iyer.
