Composers include Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Dave Douglas, Susie Ibarra, Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family), with others to be announced, while the ensembles include a mix of musicians from different musical worlds, including members of groups such as Bon Iver, Mantra Percussion, the National, yMusic, Plastic Ono Band, and many more.
