Join the 大象传媒 SSO and Principal Guest Conductor and Tectonics Festival founder, Ilan Volkov, for a journey through twentieth century American music and beyond. Lucia Dlugoszewski was a Polish-American composer whose work 'Abyss and Caress', commissioned by the New York Philharmonic in 1975, showcases both her typical use of a timbre (or 鈥榩repared鈥�) piano as well as innovative bowing for strings. The composer-improviser-trumpeter Peter Evans is our soloist.
Eleanor Hovda was renowned for her beautifully crafted, sparse imaginative soundworlds (represented here by 'Fields 87') while Talib Rasul Hakim (born Stephen Alexander Chambers) was taught by Morton Feldman and Ornette Coleman and influenced by Sufism and Eastern religions.
And we move into this century with the swelling hope of Courtney Bryan鈥檚 'White Gleam of Our Bright Star', a meditation on America鈥檚 potential and 鈥榯hemes of sister/brotherhood, freedom, and equality鈥�.
