“E4TT/RMF New Music Piano Summit”

Following her wildly successful solo Call for Scores piano recitals for Ensemble for These Times in 2024 and 2022, E4TT emerita pianist extraordinaire Dale Tsang will return in 2026 to perform nine works chosen from the group’s first-ever Call for Scores for piano four hands, joined by recent Ross McKee Foundation laureates Mehana Ellis and Letian Lei, and Bay Area pianist LaDene Otsuki. A new collaboration between the Ross McKee Foundation and Ensemble for These Times, the E4TT/RMF New Music Piano Summit will present the winners from its latest Call for Scores for piano four hands, chosen to hold the call for piano four hands to encourage composers to write for this less-frequently heard but richly rewarding instrumental combination.

The nine works chosen for performance are:

Michele Allegro – Game Overture; Matt Browne – Tennis for Two; Michael Daugherty – Joie de Vivre; Justin Levitt – The Villains; Edna Alejandra Longoria – Cuatro ritmos; Stephen McCarthy – Potboiler; Joshua Muetzel – Cable Car Canter; Kelly-Marie Murphy – Prima-Goodman Fantasy; Sam Wu – Hyperlooping
