Luca Mendoza premiers his composition "Foundations," a massive long form piece which spans both sets. Motifs, themes, and sound worlds mutate and merge over the three acts. The first and second sets act as mirrors; the first introduces the musical characters and the second reveals who they become when pushed to their limit.
Luca Mendoza is a pianist and composer and a Los Angeles Philharmonic Composer Fellow, the 2020 Downbeat Magazine Music Award Best College Soloist, a National YoungArts Foundation Finalist, and a Los Angeles Music Center Spotlight Grand Prize Winner. His music explores the confluence of classical, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music.
