Four works of intensity and craftsmanship warm this winter concert. David Milnes and the players delve into a rarely performed masterpiece by Pierre Boulez and 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. Complementing the ensemble pieces are two cello solos that ponder life’s ephemeral nature.
There will be a pre-concert talk before the concert. Guests TBA.
