Density 2036 is a 24-year project begun by Claire Chase in 2013 to commission a new body of repertory for solo flute each year until the 100th anniversary of Edgard Varèse’s groundbreaking 1936 flute solo Density 21.5. Chase will commission and premiere a new program of flute music every year until 2036, each piece in the project expanding the boundaries of the instrument. For the 10-year anniversary of Density 2036, Chase performs all Density commissions up to the present in a series of concerts in Zankel Hall and as part of Carnegie Hall Citywide at The Kitchen at Westbeth. The final two programs will be the world premieres of Density 2036: part ix, an evening-length piece by Craig Taborn at The Kitchen, and Density 2036: part x, an evening-length piece by Anna Thorvaldsdottir at Carnegie Hall.
