Ethos New Music Society is proud to present world famous violinist Jennifer Koh. Koh will appear in concert on Tuesday, February 5th, at 8pm in Rosch Recital Hall, located in Mason Hall on the campus of the State University of New York at Fredonia. Event is free.

Koh has recorded twelve albums, including her fall 2018 Saariaho release, with Chicago-based Cedille Records. She has been honored as Musical America’s 2016 Instrumentalist of the Year, top prize winner at Moscow’s International Tchaikovsky Competition, winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition, and a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant.

Koh is the Artistic Director of arco collaborative, an artist driven nonprofit organization that supports artistic collaborations and commissions, transforming the creative process by engaging with specific ideas and perspectives, and investing in the future by cultivating artist-citizens in partnership with educational organizations.

Ms. Koh has been heard with leading orchestras around the world including the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics; the Cleveland, Mariinsky Theatre, Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Philharmonia (London) Orchestras; the Atlanta, Baltimore, BBC, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, Montreal, Nashville, National, New Jersey, New World, NHK (Tokyo), Pittsburgh, RAI National (Torino), St. Louis, Seattle, and Singapore Symphony Orchestras ; and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, among other ensembles. She has worked with such conductors as John Adams, Marin Alsop, James Conlon, Gustavo Dudamel, Christoph Eschenbach, Giancarlo Guerrero, Manfred Honeck, Louis Langree, Carlos Kalmar, Lorin Maazel, Sakari Oramo, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Juraj Valčuha, Osmo Vänskä, Alexander Vedernikov, and Edo de Waart.

For her concert, Koh will be selecting a number of pieces from her project Shared Madness–a story of the amazing and generous community of artists and friends who came to Koh’s aid at a time of need. Shared Madness celebrates the support of those friends, and encapsulates the intensity of the creative process shared between composer and performer.

 

Ethos New Music Society is a student-run and student-funded organization at the State University of New York at Fredonia which hosts guest composer and performers, and puts on concerts of student works.
