Now in its third season, NYFOS Next spotlights a new generation of song composers and interpreters in concerts paralleling New York Festival of Song's ongoing subscription series. In an intimate venue with a relaxed salon atmosphere, audiences enjoy an up-close encounter with the creative process, where freshly-minted songs are shared among creative companions—some for the first time. This year’s series, expanded to three evenings, will feature the “exhilarating and “compelling” (The New York Times) works of Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts, the “expert vocal writing” (The New Yorker) of rising star Mohammed Fairouz, and the "world-class instrumental technique, compositional vision, and stage presence" (San Francisco Weekly) of singer/violinist and composer Carla Kihlstedt.
