Along with World Premieres of two chamber orchestra works (Mermelstein & Tse), this program reprises a work with Brazilian inflections that Esprit previously commissioned from our percussionist Mark Duggan. Percussion has a strong presence on this concert with Ryan Scott performing Abe’s Michi, a marimba solo in contrast to the composer’s The Wave performed earlier in the season. A spectacular percussion duo by Trevino heightens the concert’s percussive element. Two superb string quartets, radically different from one another, highlight the styles of Smith and Rea. Gabriella Smith has a unique sensibility when it comes to naming her pieces. Experience a Carrot Revolution.

Did you ever think that new music could make you laugh? It is not usual for a piece of new music to get an audience to at least chuckle but it is likely that the work by Bernhard Lang on this concert will do just that – and do it with a highly exuberant take on some of the most important elements found in the music of today.  Also, in this program Esprit again gives world premieres of new works for chamber orchestra and contrasts a solo work for piano with larger works by the same composer (Gabriella Smith) performed earlier in the season. A reprise of Harman’s Partita provides listeners the chance to hear Mark Fewer perform this refined virtuosic piece in the fine acoustic environment of Trinity-St. Paul’s. Another highlight will be the appearance of Wallace Halladay on saxophone as featured soloist in the Lang.
