New Music Horizons returns to Flushing Town Hall to present two dynamic composers: classical composer Alicia Lieu and jazz composer Mark Wade. Alicia Lieu presents new material from her opera in progress, UNWRAPPING FORTUNE which follows the adventures of protagonists Ivy and Kwan Fai through the themes of love and Chinese Food. The Mark Wade Trio will follow with their brand of group interplay and expressive improvisation that has brought them an international following.
Mark Wade has been voted one of the top bassists 5 of the last 6 years by the prestigious Downbeat Magazine Reader's Poll. He has played with notable jazz artists such as James Spaulding, Jimmy Heath, Conrad Herwig, Harry Whitaker, Pete McGuinness, Peter Eldridge, Don Byron, and Stacey Kent.
Alicia Lieu is the founder of the Composers Collective, Pitches Brew, and New York Con-ducting Institute. Alicia has conducted in master classes in New York, St. Petersburg, Russia, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria. Her teachers include Maestros John Keenan and Paul Nadler of the New York Metropolitan Opera. Alicia Lieu has won first prize in the UCSB Wind Ensemble Composition Competition.
