Miller Theatre
2960 Broadway, New York, NY
(@116th Street, entrance of Columbia University)
fourbythree makes a return appearance at Miller Theatre in an all-contemporary program that breaks down the versatility of texture and rhythm as musical language, and how these concepts play a part in the overall structure that our featured composers try to build in their works. Beginning and ending with two prominent works, György Ligeti's Ramifications for String Orchestra (1969) and John Adams' Shaker Loops (1978), the program will also feature new works by fourbythree colleagues and emerging composers Ryan Beppel and Eugene Birman, and Fulbright visiting Czech composer Jiří Kadeřábek.
PROGRAM
LIGETI: Ramifications for String Orchestra
BIRMAN: String Symphony: Todesfuge (World Premiere)
with Stilian Kirov, guest conductor
BEPPEL: Speed Demon (World Premiere)
KADEŘÁBEK: Concertino for Double Bass and String Orchestra (American Premiere)
