The composer Carlos Simon is busy.Six premieres in four months busy.In February, Simon was at the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the first appearances of his Four Black American Dances, a romp through a ring shout, a waltz, a tap dance and a praise break.At the Kennedy Center in Washington, where Simon has been a composer in residence since 2021, he oversaw two debuts in April: Songs of Separation, a sun-still-shines setting of Rumi poetry, and Don't Let the Pigeon Sing Up Late!, an irreverent operatic collaboration with the picture book author Mo Willems.
