About the Performance
The Bridges Composition Competition calls on young composers from around the globe to add their creative perspectives to the “bridge” between the Steans Institute’s jazz and classical focuses with new works written for string quartet and jazz combo. Up to three winners are selected annually to receive the David Baker Prize—an award of $2,500 and a week to further develop their music with renowned composer-performers and Steans Jazz co-Artistic Directors pianist Billy Childs, bassist John Clayton, and saxophonist Steve Wilson, as well as the ensemble that is premiering their work this evening.
