Reception to follow
________________
Opening the program is the US premiere of Berlin-based composer Mark Barden’s Nocturne, commissioned by the 2013 Modern Festival on behalf of Mivos. Through a compelling dialogue between intense, quietly virtuosic solo cello and abrasive, unrelenting string trio, Nocturne explores the listener’s perception of subtle and nuanced shifts as a structural element over the course of the piece. Next up, London-based composer Dai Fujikura’s Flare employs virtuosic and extroverted traditional “showpiece” techniques as materials. From Reappearances, Mivos will then present Felipe Lara’s Corde Vocale, an ultra-expressionistic tour de force for string quartet. Closing out the program is the world premiere of Scott Wollschleger’s String Quartet No. 2, White Wall, which explores the depth and variety of white-noise like sounds on strings - structured, meditative, and beautiful.
We will be having a reception following the performance. We hope that you will join us in celebrating the release! (less)
