About the workshop:

For the UCLA workshop, the Alchemy Sound Project will play one or two originals from Under the Surface, a new work composed by pianist/composer Sumi Tonooka. The piece is commissioned by the Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works grant which Alchemy Sound Project is currently premiering in the Bay Area. The group will also work directly with the students on another Alchemy Sound Project composition composed by Professor Salim Washington, "Afrika Love."
