Wednesday, March 11 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm CDT
Nova Linea Musica’s Artist-in-Residence series continues with Beyond the Art of Measures, an evening that celebrates the artistic journey from idea to realization.
Violinist Rabia Brooke and pianist Lam Wong give the world premiere of Art Measures for Violin and Piano, a Nova Linea Musica commission by acclaimed composer Jennifer Higdon, winner of three Grammy Awards and a Pulitzer Prize. Her work traces the evolution of a creative idea from its first spark of inspiration through its shaping and refinement of form, capturing both the mystery and physicality of the artistic process. Measure by measure, Higdon honors the vital role performers play in bringing new music to life. Brooke and Wong also team for Peace, a meditative work by Shelley Washington, and the virtuosic Anthèmes 1 by Pierre Boulez.
Beyond the Art of Measures also includes four works for viola and piano, performed by Sam Rosenthal with Lam Wong: Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel, Keoni Bolding’s Paraphrase Act II, and two pieces by Grammy winner Michelle Barzel Ross, Where Things Weigh Nothing at All and a commission by Nova Linea Musica.
Nova Linea Musica serves as a catalyst for the creation and promotion of new music through commissions, live performances, and the creation of exceptional audio and video recordings featuring dynamic emerging and established performers.
