Radius Ensemble presents the third performance of its 26th concert season on March 8 with its signature combination of stunning virtuosity and warm approachability. The program, presented at the Longy School of Music at Bard College, is thoughtfully curated, like all Radius programs, to dazzle the ears, energize the mind, and lift the soul.
High contrast marks this program—from profound whispers to piercing howls. Fragments of text from Jacques Roubaud's Échanges de la lumière arise from an eerie nocturnal soundscape in …de la terre for violin and tape, the third movement of Kaija Saariaho’s ballet Maa. Sean Kisch’s Cerberus for horn, cello and piano gallops from the stage like a sinister movie villain, after which breezy, mournful melodies gently follow one another in David Lang’s anti-virtuosic wind quintet, breathless. The ensemble takes a sharp turn for Beethoven’s lively Duet with Two Obligato Eyeglasses, WoO 32 for viola and cello and brings the concert to a ravishing close with Kenji Bunch’s New Moon and Morning for flute and strings
