Composer's Voice Concert
October 20, 2002
A.R.T South Oxford Space Brooklyn, New York

In a joint effort with the Living Music Foundation, Vox Novus hosted a Composer's Voice concert in the A.R.T. South Oxford Space in Brooklyn, New York. The concert contained many debuts most notably Terry Winter Owens debut of Rendezvous with Hyakutake performed by Rene Dennis, Piano Sketches by Marco Oppedisano performed by Hiromi Abe, and Canto di Malavita by Noah Creshevsky.

Review of October 20,2002 Composer's Voice Concert

"On the whole, the programming for this chamber concert demonstrated that Vox Novus, with its beautifully appointed and acoustically pleasing chamber salon, offers a significant venue just a short distance from the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the presentation of serious works by established and emerging composers. Those voices should be heard, and they can even be reheard on the Vox Novus website that generously offers complete audio recordings and even full scores of works presented by Vox Novus at its concerts." - John de Clef Pineiro, New Music Connoisseur (March 2003 Vol.11 No.1)
