Works of Caroline Shaw, Gavin Bryars, and Henry Purcell
Ask Caroline Shaw -- composer, violinist, vocalist and now youngest-ever recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music -- to program a concert for the "new music dynamos" of American Contemporary Music Ensemble and the "infectiously gleeful" Grammy winners of Roomful of Teeth, and what do you get? An incredible evening of music that celebrates the works of three breathtakingly original composers, including Shaw’s own Partita for 8 Voices, declared a “dazzling, emotionally generous take on a Baroque dance suite” by The New York Times; the world premiere of a new version of her multimedia tour de force, Ritornello 2.3, featuring elements of American hymnody and Baroque music; Gavin Bryars’ heartrending Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet; and the intense, introspective glory of Henry Purcell’s fantasias.
