ABOUT DENSITY 2036
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. Each year until 2036, Claire will commission and premiere a new program of flute music that seeks to expand the boundaries of the instrument. In 2023, Claire will perform all ten Density programs to date (2013-2023) in a weeklong retrospective in New York City.
