FURIOUS CRAFT: Works for ensemble by Boulez and Francesconi; works for cello by Saariaho and Zhou
Four pieces of intensity and craftmanship - two for ensemble and two for solo cello - warm this winter concert. Music Director David Milnes conducts the evening’s two ensemble pieces.
David Milnes and the players delve into Pierre Boulez’s rarely performed masterpiece, Le Marteau sans maître, as well as a smoldering work by Luca Francesconi featuring new ensemble member David Tanenbaum on guitar. Boulez’s unusual composition – for flute, guitar, viola, three percussion and mezzo-soprano – is widely regarded as his first great work. Two cello solos, played by Leighton Fong and Stephen Harrison, round out this powerful program.
There will be a pre-concert talk at 7:15pm, moderated by Music Director david Milnes.
