'Visions Uncharted' featuring Tom Chiu '93 with Cory Smythe and Meaghan Burke '06
A noted champion of new music, violinist, composer, and Yale alum Tom Chiu '93 is renowned for premiering more than 200 new works by influential composers and for his collaborations with groundbreaking artists across multiple disciplines, including free jazz legend Ornette Coleman and choreographers Pam Tanowitz and Shen Wei. With an extensive discography and a diverse body of work, Chiu has contributed to avant-garde performances and installations at notable venues such as the Walker Arts Center and the Museum of the Moving Image. Chiu will be joined at the Schwarzman Center by Cory Smythe on piano and Meaghan Burke '06 on cello to explore the music of Muhal Richard Abrams, Vijay Iyer, Oliver Lake, Wadada Leo Smith, and Ornette Coleman—composers who redefine the boundaries between improvisation and composition.
