Old Ideas, New Stories

Composers today walk a fine line between old and new ideas. Innovation through rethinking old ideas creates new stories to be told. Our global interconnectivity and enmeshment of artistic ideas creates a shared consciousness of sorts; sounds that evoke certain memories, textures and soundscapes that provoke certain emotions. Tweaking just the right idea creates a new branch on the tree.

This concert from MSO Chamber includes Bryce Dessner's Murder Ballades, Joe Chindamo's String Quartet No.1 Tempesta, Copland's Sextet and Holly Harrison's The Mad-Hatter's Tea Party.
