an interview with founder Mark Christman, whose curations on stage, in galleries, and in books have been a beacon of creativity in Philadelphia for a quarter century
This piece sent me pleasantly down memory lane. Nicely put together, Matt. Mark is doing great work for not just Philadelphia but the whole world, especially with the Milford Graves work! My first Ars Nova concert was also at International House. I feel the same way about that venue, the audience was always diverse! I hope to be able to check out as many of the 25th anniversary concerts as I can.
Ooo, glad I’m stumbling upon this. Such a fan of Ars Nova’s programming and have learned a lot being in attendance just listening. This was a lovely read and great insight. Lots of wisdom. Thanks!

nice lineup for the upcoming season, but Brandee Younger? She is not a jazz player or an improviser. Oi.
I'm in strong disagreement with you, Allen. But thanks for reading. I suggest you read the interview content.
