Pierre Jalbert and Thomas Larcher Receive Music Commissions from Koussevitzky Foundation

The Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress has awarded commissions for new musical works to eight composers. The commissions are granted jointly by the foundation and the performing organizations that will present the world premiere of each work.

Winning composers for 2024 and the groups co-sponsoring their commissions are Andy Akiho and Sandbox Percussion; Donnacha Dennehy and F-Plus Trio; Ted Hearne and WildUp; Pierre Jalbert and the Morgenstern Trio; Thomas Larcher and the New York Philharmonic; Sky Macklay and Project Fusion Saxophone Quartet; Kurt Rohde and Brightwork New Music; and Hans Thomalla and ~Nois.

In commemoration of Serge Koussevitzky’s 150th birthday, celebrated in 2024, the Koussevitzky Foundation designated Jalbert’s new commission for piano trio to be written for the Morgenstern Trio. To mark Koussevitzky’s 150th, the Library also released a new digital collection of the Serge Koussevitzky Archive, with more than 500 items representing the vast archive of 200,000-plus items held by the Music Division.
