The program features Charisma and Plekto by Iannis Xenakis, Kaija Saariaho’s Oi kuu, Beat Furrer’s Lied, The Riot from the recently departed Jonathan Harvey, Australian Anthony Pateras’s Broken Then Fixed Then Broken and a world premiere by Mexican born Juan-Felipe Waller. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience these intertwining works spanning three generations of heavy hitting compositional voices.
