Join ~Nois as they celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Kinds of ~Nois. The group presents a post-minimalist and experimental collection of new works by the international composer collective Kinds of Kings. Kinds of ~Nois celebrates six years of collaboration with Shelley Washington, Gemma Peacocke, and Maria Kaoutzani in world premiere recordings of works written specifically for the ensemble.
From inspiring melodies, driving grooves, and haunting textures, the musical voices of the Kinds of Kings collective brilliantly highlight some of the best of what this ensemble can do.
Renowned composer Bernard Rands will celebrate his 90th birthday with a two-day residency at Guarneri Hall. The event will feature works that deeply influenced Rands, compositions from his own seven-decade career, and pieces written by composers on whom Rands has had a profound influence.
In addition to the music, Rands will talk about his life and his earliest influences, illuminate elements in his work, and talk about the music of the composers that have followed him. The two-day event will conclude with a party in honor of Mr. Rands.
Artists include the Terra String Quartet; NOIS Saxophone Quartet; Kristina Bachrach, soprano; and Alexander Hersh, cello.
