Contemporary Directions Ensemble
The Modern Compositional Voice” This varied and diverse program brings discussion of the question of purpose in composition from the last 70 years, juxtaposing music of classic intense serialists (Pierre Boulez) with contemporary eclectic minimalists (Nico Muhly), while exploring issues of intelligibility (Lee Hyla) and sincerity (David Lang). The program closes with John Adams’ stunningly virtuosic Chamber Symphony.
