Since 1993 the group has presented more than 100 works in their world, national, or local premiere.

Peterson did not attend the local premiere of Morning of the Earth on 10 January 1972.

The local premiere was a treat for the students and the community that they began the project in.

The concert opened with the first of two local premieres.

Thursday night's local premiere at the Kitchen, 512 West 19th St. suggested the collaborative nature of the venture.

Another highlight is the local premiere of Michael Hayed's "Dream."

Lee and Fields, both present for the local premiere, were given ovations.

She also created roles in local premieres of Verdi and Wagner operas.

This approach has now been transposed to "Duet," a dance for two women that had its local premiere on Saturday night.

Three of the pieces were given their local premieres and, as it happened, they were the program's least memorable selections.
