Tyshawn Sorey is a visionary artist who is erasing the lines of musical preconceptions. The 2017 MacArthur Fellow, who received his Ph.D. from Columbia's Department of Music that same year, has a wide-ranging creative practice, embracing the roles of composer, conductor, multi-instrumentalist, scholar, and educator. This Miller Theatre Concert Portrait features two new works, written for ensembles with which Sorey has close ties.
