The Commission Fund will support the creation of original works for the Tentet—a vibrant ensemble co-led by clarinetist/saxophonist Anat Cohen and composer/arranger/conductor Oded Lev-Ari. Known for its genre-bending work, the group thrives on close musical interaction and deep listening. In the fall of 2025, the Tentet will gather in residency in New York City for an intensive collaboration with a community of blind and visually impaired musicians and audiences. Their unique perspectives on sound and communication will shape the ensemble’s process, inspiring new compositions and innovative ensemble practices.
