DF			Alone Together, 2020
DF				DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2022_038
				Violinist Jennifer Koh launched Alone Together , an online commissioning project, to support freelance composers during the financial hardship of the coronavirus pandemic. Twenty composers, most of whom had salaried positions or other forms of institutional support, agreed to donate a new, 30-second micro-work for solo violin, while also recommending a fellow freelance composer to write their own 30-second solo violin work on paid commission from the artist-driven nonprofit ARCO Collaborative. Koh premiered these donated and commissioned works from April 4 through June 13, 2020 on YouTube. Each recommending composer is listed below, followed by the commissioned composer.

		Cerrone, Christopher
DF			A Body, Moving, 2021
DF				DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2021_087
				Cerrone wrote the concerto A Body, Moving to be a celebration of the movement of air throughout the room in contrast with a time when COVID-19 has made people acutely aware of air's flow and ability to spread illness. This work was commissioned by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and premiered April 2021.
				Score for orchestra; audio
DF			Don't Look Down, 2020
DF				DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2021_087
				Cerrone described Don't Look Down as an accidental musical diary of living through the pandemic. The first movement recalls the relentless energy prior to the pandemic; the second movement stops the energy and provides an uncertain and static soundscape; the third movement chronicles a construction project and a nostalgia for what would normally drive a person crazy. This piece was commissioned by Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting for Conor Hanick and Sandbox Percussion.
				Score for prepared piano and percussion quartet; audio
		Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra: The Fanfare Project, 2020-2021

Building on that legacy, the CSO commissioned new music from a diverse range of composers to inspire and uplift in the face of the challenges of the pandemic and an uncertain future.
