Alvin Singleton’s Miaka Kumi at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with Robert Spano

Feb. 01, 2011

Alvin Singleton’s new fanfare for orchestra Miaka Kumi, which in Swahili is "10 Years", debuts with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on February 3. Written in honor of Maestro Spano on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his tenure as Music Director, the work marks just the latest collaboration between the composer and conductor. In 2010, Robert Spano led the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a new and heralded recording of Singleton’s PraiseMaker, available now on the new Telarc disc The Singing Rooms-Music of Higdon, Scriabin and Singleton.

Alvin Singleton has been selected as one of the 10 recipients of this year’s prestigious Aaron Copland Award, from Copland House, Inc., which culminates in a residency from February 7 to March 18 for the composer at Aaron Copland’s house in New York’s lower Hudson Valley, a National Historic Landmark. The ten award recipients were chosen from a pool of 100 applicants from across the US.
