The New York New Music Ensemble, a veritable collection of New York's finest musicians, celebrates 35 years of commissioning and performing new music.
April 1-4 NYNME'S 35th Anniversary TOUR
Celebrating 35 years of
commissioning and performing new music, NYNME is proud to present three
newly-commissioned works, each different and dynamic. Deriving
inspiration from ancient Chinese shamanic poetry, Zhou Long has composed
Cloud Earth; Eric
Chasalow has composed a work incorporating electronic sound entitled
On That Swirl of Ending Dust,
the title of which is
from the poem Dream Song by John
Berryman; and Yiorgos Vassilandonakis' work
Quatuor pour le fin d’une ère
takes inspiration from Olivier Messiaen's
Quartet for the End of Time.
Elliott's instruments is Rand
Steiger's homage to the music of Elliott Carter on the occasion of his
100th birthday.
