Grammy-winning ensemble eighth blackbird shows off its phenomenal virtuosity and renowned theatrical flair in a compelling, diverse program. In her luminously beautiful Immutable Dreams, young New Yorker Kati Agocs has spun a web of sensuous lyricism that strikingly contrasts with the brilliant textures of Franco Donatoni’s colorful Arpege. Stephen Hartke’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated masterpiece Meanwhile evokes music from an imaginary Asian court with the help of a battery of invented percussion instruments. Thomas Adés depicts a hilarious musical seduction in Catch, while in Les Moutons de Panurge American maverick Fred Rzewski attempts to push the ensemble beyond its limits. Will eighth blackbird be up to his challenge?
