Enjoy an afternoon of live music in our Stewart Auditorium this fall featuring an eclectic array of musical acts from up and down the Front Range.

The Boulder Altitude Directive (BAD) exists at the intersection between composer and performer. Formed in 2017 by composer Carter Pann, BAD is the voice for new chamber music in Boulder, Colorado. Each season, the Directive commissions, workshops, records and premieres innovative chamber music from emerging composers.

About The Boulder Altitude Directive (BAD)

The Boulder Altitude Directive (BAD) ensemble was founded in 2017 by the Composition department at CU-Boulder and is comprised of six of the finest musicians from CU’s College of Music. Our mission is two-fold: 1) Commission and perform new works created by our student composers at CU, and 2) Feature performances of contemporary music from non-CU composers around the world. We thrive in the exploration of uncharted waters when it comes to sound and collaboration on stage. Oftentimes the music we are performing is so new that the composers may be hearing passages of their works for the very first time in concert! And nothing is too strange, surprising, or challenging for us.

• Carter Pann, Artistic Director/Conductor
• Grace Law, flutes
• Conor Brown, clarinets
• Laena Batchelder, violin
• Nicole Chung, cello
• Zerek Dodson, piano
• Chris Eagles, percussion
