Reflections
The Broyhill Chamber Ensemble:
Impressions of Ravel
Gil Morgenstern, Artistic Director
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 · 8pm
Rosen Concert Hall
Broyhill Music Center[ Map ]
Appalachian State University
Boone, North Carolina
$18 / $10 / $5
Pairing, contrasting and complementing works of similar sonorities and sensibilities, this concert will assemble the musical building blocks of one of the most innovative chamber music compositions written for the piano trio. Discover how a work by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, a transcription of a movement from a Mozart piano sonata by contemporary Lithuanian composer Arvo Pärt and the frolicking folk rhythms of Spaniard Joaquin Turina lead us to the extraordinary Trio by Maurice Ravel.
The Broyhill Chamber Ensemble is an extraordinary association of internationally acclaimed musicians which, in association with Nine Circles Chamber Theatre and its international Reflections series, presents an alternative to the conventional approach to chamber music programming. The ensemble's flexibility of instrumentation and great variety of repertoire make it the ideal group for exploring the full spectrum of chamber music's expressive palette and experimental performance. According to Broyhill Chamber Ensemble Artistic Director Gil Morgenstern, "The Reflections series continues the well-established tradition of exploring both Old World masters and the less familiar but masterful works of contemporary artists. From sublime compositions created in the midst of horror and terror, to music inspired by painting and sculpture, each piece on select programs will reflect and refract the ones surrounding it in an interactive and intimate setting." Whether in traditional concert format, in residency or in its Reflections series, the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble steps outside the customary performance boundaries by presenting programs that marry the intimacy of chamber music with the power of theatre.
Acclaimed for his artistry and technical brilliance as soloist with orchestra, in recital or as a chamber musician, violinist Gil Morgenstern has performed all over the world to overwhelming critical praise. Mr. Morgenstern is the artistic director of the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble, the co-artistic director of Nine Circles Chamber Theatre, an organization dedicated to exploring the collaborative nature of inter-disciplinary performance, and the artistic director of performance series in New York City, Florida, Pennsylvania and Florence, Italy. He has been the subject of numerous television and radio shows and he can be regularly heard on NPR broadcasts. Mr. Morgenstern and the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble record for the MMC and Koch International Classics label.
The Broyhill Chamber Ensemble's Reflections series is produced in association with Nine Circles Chamber Theatre.
