Four Stop Tour: Symphonic Potential February 8, 2009

The final stop on the 'Four Stop Tour' culminates in a chamber music synthesis of electronic and acoustic sounds by Nicholas Reeves. Whether it is the unorthodox multiple tunings of two pianos ('Duo Canti'), the warmth of Middle English set for three voices ('Three Medieval Lyrics'), rhapsodic virtuosity exploiting an instrument's potential ('The Allure of a Forgotten Carrousel'), or the tembral whimsy of a Schonberg piano piece (opus 19, no. 6), this event exposes the symphonic capabilities of small ensembles, especially in the concluding work: 'Duo Canti Remixed,' an electro-acoustic reinterpretation of the opening piece.
