DAVID HERTZBERG has been selected as Young Concert Artists composer-in-residence for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. YCA will commission two works from Hertzberg for performances in New York and Washington, D.C. by musicians on YCA’s roster. The first of these, written for three members of the new YCA ensemble miXt—Jose Franch-Ballester, clarinet; Bella Hristova, violin; Ran Dank, piano—will be premiered at Washington’s Kennedy Center on December 4, 2012, and in Merkin Concert Hall in New York on December 11, 2012. Hertzberg, 22, was selected as composer-in-residence by a panel of YCA alumni on the basis of CDs and scores submitted by the applicants. He is currently enrolled at The Juilliard School, where he studies composition with Samuel Adler. Hertzberg has been commissioned to write a new work for the New Juilliard Ensemble, which will be premiered at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall next season.
