Together marks another major success in a momentous year for Carlos, which has already seen his new work Four Black American Dances premiered by Boston Symphony and Andris Nelsons, the trombone concerto Troubled Water by Detroit Symphony and Kenneth Thompkins, Songs of Separation with J’Nai Bridges, Giannandrea Noseda and National Symphony Orchestra. Later this year, we see UK premieres of Four Black American Dances at the BBC Proms, premieres of his new Concerto for Orchestra with San Diego Symphony and Raphael Payare as well as his first multi-episode television series score, which will be aired in winter 2023.
Earlier this summer, the Minnesota Orchestra premiered what The New York Times called “arguably the most important commission of Simon’s career so far”: brea(d)th, Simon’s work that commemorates the murder of George Floyd and honours the ongoing struggle for racial justice in Minnesota and beyond.
