The fourth and final concert collaboration in the Fall 2019 series of the International Contemporary Ensemble and the College of Performing Arts at the New School will feature a collectively-designed concert program of the OpenICE course at Mannes.

The program will celebrate works by American composer Anthony Braxton, and feature a composition by Mannes student and bassoonist, Clifton Joey Guidry III. The program will be an intimate configuration of the audience, Mannes instrumentalists, and International Contemporary Ensemble guest performers in the Ernst C. Stiefel Concert Hall at 55 W 13th Street in NYC.
