Program:

Performers: Continuum’s ensemble with Angela Rudden (viola), Graham Hargrove (percussion) and Gregory Oh (conductor).

Begin at the beginning. Chris Paul Harman’s Incipits distills Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas into a sense of perpetual inception. Samuel Andreyev dissolves and truncates in Stopping, while Italy’s Luca Francesconi creates a fluttering state of energy in Encore/dacapo. Between the beginning and the end are the subtly shifting colours of Fuhong Shi and the propulsive rhythms of Juan Trigos, two compelling works discovered in Continuum’s Call for Scores.
