SUMMARY:Richard Tognetti & the ANAM Orchestra | Central Park in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:In the first of two concerts during his residency at ANAM\, superstar violinist Richard Tognetti brings together the fascinating sound worlds of American composers Charles Ives and Ruth Crawford Seeger\, alongside a current new voice in Australian music\, Alex Turley\, and the sumptuous late-Romantic sounds of Arnold Schoenberg’s early masterpiece Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night).\n\n\nOften paired together\, Charles Ives’s The Unanswered Question for solo trumpet\, winds and strings\, and Central Park in the Dark for orchestra explore the notion of the individual contemplating the world—our existence and place within it in the first work\, and\, in the second\, the sounds of the world before industrialisation\, “before the combustion engine and radio monopolized the earth and air\,” as Ives noted. \nOriginally written for the Sydney Symphony brass section\, the ANAM Brass musicians unite for a performance of Alex Turley’s Mirage. This brand-new work explores the more subtle and mysterious textures of the loudest of orchestral instruments. Sounds bend and refract around the ensemble\, which is spread throughout the performance space in an ever-shifting harmonic language designed to lose yourself in. \nEqually labyrinthine in its harmonic twists and turns is Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) by Arnold Schoenberg. Pre-dating his revolutionary upheaval of classical music\, this early work for strings showcases ingenious motivic development and a sumptuous romantic language\, telling the story of two lovers and the transfiguration of their love for each other. \nPROGRAM\n\nAlex TURLEY Mirage\nCharles IVES The Unanswered Question \nIVES Central Park in the Dark\nRuth CRAWFORD SEEGER Music for Small Orchestra\nArnold SCHOENBERG Verklärte Nacht\, op. 4 \nARTISTS \nRichard Tognetti director / violin\nANAM Orchestra \nDuration: approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (no interval) \nSpecial Offer!
