This event, to be held at DROM, features two dozen contemporary composer-performers, inspired by the theme of name dropping, performing their own music. Featuring: Beth Anderson, Vicky Cheng, Jiwon Choi, John Clark, Marshall Coid, Dan Cooper, Valerie Geffner, Debra Kaye, Jung Hyun Kim, Yejune Kim, Mark Kostabi, Eugene W. McBride, Audrey Morse,  Tim Mukherjee, Alon Nechushtan, Gene Pritsker,

The four-concert festival features new music compositions inspired by names of fictitious characters, names that are dear to individual composers, and nicknames, plus a concert of 26 composers presented alphabetically, a trio of musicians named Jay, and other imaginative ways composers choose to play upon the event titles and festival theme. The concerts will be presented at an array of NYC venues, with numerous fun premieres, virtuoso performances, and an eclectic range of styles, presented in quick tandem, encouraging our favorite composers to play on the phenomenon of names.
