Worlds Apart
newEar contemporary chamber ensemble presents Worlds Apart, the third concert of our 19th season, on Saturday, February 11 at All Souls United Universalist Church, 4501 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri. Pre-concert talk begins at 7:15 p.m. Concert begins at 8:00 p.m.
From Eastern Europe to the United States, by way of inspiration gleaned in the churches of Rome, the music of today is more than global, nearly approaching the cosmic. Anchoring this concert is the remarkable Clarinet Quartet of Krzysztof Penderecki, composed in 1993. Andrew Norman's string trio Sabina shimmers with sonic resonance and Lansing McLoskey's longingly melancholic Processione di lacrime allows the players to perform in different tempi simultaneously – “like two people dreaming of dancing together … but never actually dancing in real life.” Local composers Ingrid Stölzel, whose new trio For the Time Being, and Nick Omiccioli, whose Invisible Worlds, offer works receiving their Kansas City premieres.
