He has received an Emerging Composer Award from the Gerbode and Hewlett Foundations, and his upcoming premieres and commissions include works for janus, the Paul Dresher Ensemble, and the Brooklyn Philharmonic.

Brown will play his own music, workshop John Adams Young Composers Program student scores, and give his audience a window into the world of new music from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
