| The New Bassoon |
CHAMBER |
| An afternoon of
evocative and haunting modern classical music with bassoonist RACHAEL
ELLIOTT (volunteer), pianist ANNA GRINBERG and composer/performer PADMA NEWSOME.
The often-overlooked bassoon is brought into the spotlight, with
new music by Australian composers Padma NEWSOME (2:3:5, With Eyes
Cast Down, Bed & Rest, Shady Gully, Unattended Shadow, The
World Loves Me, The Sundown Song, Fears & Freinds) and ROSS
EDWARDS (Ilpirra), and American composer, DAVID LANG (from 'Press
Release'). Newsome and Lang are featured on Ms. Elliott's recent
recording, "Polka the Elk" (2011), and her performances in
Australia are part of her CD release tour. Hailed as "one of the sharpest executors of new-music currently on the scene" (WQXR) and an "intrepid bassoonist" (Time Out New York), Rachael Elliott explores compelling new directions as a bassoon soloist and chamber artist. |
