In approaching the ten Beethoven sonatas as a whole, pianist Mimi Solomon and violinist Nicholas DiEugenio have commissioned the composers Allen Anderson, David Garner, Robert Honstein, Jesse Jones, and Tonia Ko to respond to specific pairings of sonatas in the context of various musical fabrics. Musical fabrics are comprised of the sonic threads that are woven together by a composer to produce a musical work’s aural tapestry. The commissioned composers will pull on a “loose thread” of Beethoven’s and reweave it. 


PROGRAM: Allen Anderson- Linen; D.K. Garner- The Sky Was Good For Flying; Tonia Ko- Tribute (Axis II); Jesse Jones- Scherzo
