Anthems of Dialogue

BETA Quartet has been endorsed to premiere three (3) new commissioning works for the 2024-2025 Anthems of Dialogue initiative.

This innovative project features works by narrative-driven composer, pedagogue, and flutist Erin Spencer, DownBeat® Magazine Award Winner and saxophonist Caroline Davis, and 2024 Global Genius® Grand Prize Winning composer and 2020 Latin GRAMMY® Winning contemporary classical composer and flutist, José Valentino.

Each new work powerfully explores how music can bridge community gaps and drive societal progress by addressing urgent contemporary themes. These works will be performed in Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and West Virginia.
