Featuring music by; George Tsontakis Piano Quartet No. 3; Shawn Okpebholo Black Music (New York Premiere); John Musto Cello Sonata
These vivid, formidable works by outstanding American masters are a kind of disguised theater, with virtuoso instrumentalists engaged in dramatic yet wordless narratives – elusive, abstract, representational. These musical actors converse cooperatively or contentiously, swerving from ethereal to intense, reflective to impulsive, serene to volatile. Their sonic journeys are breathtaking!
