New York Carneige Hall Premiere | |
|
Carnegie Hall with its collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma and The Silk Road Ensemble in a two-part workshop spanning the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, commissions two new works by two emerging composers, and five new works by five established composers. The spring 2006 session brings together the selected emerging composers and musicians of the Silk Road Ensemble to begin collaborative work on the new piece. In the 2006-07 season they will focus on preparation of the new work for a final concert.
More details (from Carnegie Hall website) Empty Mountain, Spirit Rain (2006), for shakuhachi*, violin, cello, double bass, marimba and percussion Premiere: Carnegie Hall Zankel Hall, September 16-17, 2006 Photo Album Public presentation: Tanglewood Music Center, Seiji Ozawa Hall, September 13, 2006, 7:00pm, * The shakuhachi is a seventh-century Japanese end-blown bamboo flute, click here for more info. The committee selected the shakuhachi for Angel because they feel that she would write well for this instrument from listening to the sound world she created in her other compositions. Angel was then given a choice to select her western instruments of strings and percussion. To hear more about her composition process please visit Carnegie Hall's new podcast website devoted to Carnegie Hall commissions, coming soon. |
