The groundbreaking Vox Balaenae or Voice of the Whale by Pulitzer Prize and Grammy award winner George Crumb amplifies flute, cello and piano, mirroring sounds from the deep. Performed by masked players, Crumb uses innovative instrumental and vocal effects to surprise. You won’t believe your ears.
Brazilian composer Heitor Villa- Lobos’ Assobio a Jato or Jet Whistle beautifully juxtaposes the flute and cello — true to his style of combining Brazilian melodic and rhythmic elements with Western classical music.
Rounding out the programme with Bacewicz’s Violin Sonata No. 4 and Rachmaninoff’s Trio elegiaque No.1 in G minor, let yourself be swept away by the emotions of Eastern Europe.
