FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As
Gustav Mahler wrote, "In its beginnings, music was merely chamber
music, meant to be listened to in a small space by a small audience." On
April 25th at 7pm, Composers Concordance ("enterprising new music
organization" -NYTimes) presents an eclectic program of contemporary
chamber music premieres. Featured composers include Dave Soldier
("resolutely uninterested in stylistic limits" -NYTimes), Gene Pritsker
("audacious…multitalented" -NYTimes), Dan Cooper ("especially
fascinating" - American Record Guide), Evan Hause ("particularly
compelling" - NYTimes), Leo Kraft ("beautiful" - NYTimes), Frank J. Oteri
("passionate" - San Francsico Chronicle), and Raul Quines ("highly
imaginative" - Sir Georg Solti).
Featured performers include flutist
Valerie Coleman (of the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds), clarinetist
Michiyo Suzuki (of the Grammy-nominated Absolute Ensemble), as well as
the intrepid violinists Lynn Bechtold, Mioi Takeda, and Yibin Li,
renowned cellist Michael Midlarsky, and the exceptional pianist Dimitri
Dover. Don't miss this fun chamber music event, plus a reception, at the
Turtle Bay Music School's Richmond Room (244 East 52nd St).
