Music from I-Park residency is focus of upcoming concert
I-Park presents Five New Compositions at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Terris Theater in Chester.
This concert is the culmination of a week-long, in-person residency at I-Park’s artists’ retreat in East Haddam. In this setting, the participants will have shared ideas, inspired one another and shared meals together while workshopping and rehearsing five new works for their world premieres.
This is the fourth iteration of I-Park’s popular Composers + Musicians Collaborative Residency. This year’s ensemble-in-residence is Hub New Music. Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a “prime mover of piping hot 21st century repertoire” (Washington Post). Founded in 2013, the Detroit-based ensemble has commissioned dozens of new works for its distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin and cello. Hub New Music consists of Michael Avitabile (flutes), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets), Meg Rohrer (violin/viola) and Jesse Christeson (cello).
I-Park brought together the following composers and Hub New Music: Ethan Gonzalez Soledad, Florida, Giordano Bruno do Nascimento, Germany, Celka Ojakangas, Los Angeles, Daniel Sabzghabaei, New York and Daniel Wohl, Los Angeles.
General admission tickets are $25. They are $15 for students, seniors, military personnel and I-Park Fellows. Visit www.i-park.org for advanced ticket reservations or call (860) 873-2468.
