Experience a fascinating, multidisciplinary program of chamber music with very special guests. Andy Akiho's exhilarating LIgNEouS 1 features extended technique from string and percussion instruments alike. James Lee III's Clarinet Quintet was recently premiered by the Pacifica Quartet and New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill, and two of its movements are featured here. Justinian Tamusuza's bright and driving Ekitundu Ekisooka, made world famous by the Kronos Quartet's chart-topping Pieces of Africa, features a special appearance by Quamaine "Virtuoso" Daniels, pioneer and innovator of the FLEXN dance style. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard joins for Chausson's Chanson perpétuelle, and the program closes with Beach's potent Piano Quintet, a work that includes direct references to Brahms's seminal Piano Quintet.
