ICE celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Henry Street Settlement with three concerts representing the best of New York's new music.

This show features brand new works by some of New York's best-known composers, commissioned by ICE: the World Premiere of a new collaborative piece by trumpet virtuoso Peter Evans and brilliant pianist/improvisor Cory Smythe, a woodwind quintet unlike any other by downtown legend John Zorn, and a beautiful and touching tribute to Pete Seeger by experimental music pioneer Christian Wolff.
