Description
Join us for a dive into Klangforum Wien’s new 5-CD set of solo works by Sciarrino, Aperghis, Neuwirth, Saunders & Hosokawa. Sample new albums by Yuji Takahashi & Kiyasu Orchestra, symphonic works by Žibuoklė Martinaitytė & Michael Jarrell, and duets by Fred Frith/Benjamín Vergara, Alex Paxton/Dominykas Snarskis & Whitney Ashe (w/River Town Duo). Ilya P. shows off Peter Blasser’s unique instruments while David Lang writes for accordionist Frode Andersen and Daron Hagen summons the ghost of Orson Welles. We close by honoring Cornelius Cardew’s collectivist landmark The Great Learning on its 50th anniversary. Radical new music!
