Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble continues its 50th Anniversary Season with Unending Winter, mixing a world premiere of a newly commissioned work with longstanding Dino Annex classics from the vault.

 

Guggenheim Fellow Yoon-Ji Lee’s new composition, Unending Winter—a piece “dedicated to the plight and lives of so-called Korean ‘comfort women’”—, receives its world premiere under the auspices of the Fromm Foundation at Harvard University. We revisit When Crows Gather (1986), by the late Lewis Spratlan—a strikingly original sextet featuring three clarinets who mutter and screech, amid echoes of jazz, hymn tunes, and ragtime—also commissioned and premiered by Dinosaur Annex. Granite Coast by our co-founder Scott Wheeler draws inspiration from Rockport, MA, a coastal city known for its granite quarries. Saxophonist Seychelle Dunn-Corbin, one of Dino’s newest members, presents two key works from that instrument's repertoire: Anthony Green’s dhakira, a reflection on the sounds of the Middle Eastern world; and JakobTV’s Buku, a tribute to alto sax “giants” Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, and Art Pepper.

 

Special birthday tribute compositions from long-time composer collaborators Rodney Lister (and Dino co-founder), Jeff Nichols, and Arthur Levering will be included as well!
