JUNGLE

Description:

The Glass Farm Ensemble is presenting a concert with music by the new and coming generation of composer from Europe and the US. All works are written in this century. The compositions by David Shohl and Yvonne Troxler are world premieres; Michel Roth's work is an US premiere.

In his new work, the New York based composer David Shohl is exploring the sound mixtures of the woodwinds (fl, cl) versus the sounds of the keyboards (vibra, pno).

The French composers Bruno Mantovani and Philippe Hurel are some of the most promising composers of this new generation. Mantovani's work Haunted Nights is inspired by one of the jazz standards by Duke Ellington from his Jungle period.

Hurel's duo is like all his music, highly virtuosic.

The Swiss Michel Roth was composer in residence at the Lucerne Festival; this will be the US premier of his composition.

Yvonne Troxler's piece About Pachyderms II, is a new and expanded version of the older work About Pachyderms for bass clarinet, marimba and piano.
