Wednesday, January 21 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm CST
Threads of Melodic Silence brings together a program of rich and reflective works performed by the NLM Piano Trio: Rabia Brooke, violin; Haddon Kay, cello; and Tamia Salimdjanova, piano. The evening features the world premiere of a Nova Linea Musica commission by Chicago’s own Stacy Garrop, written especially for the ensemble. Also on the program are Color Through Piano Trio by Grammy Award-winning composer Jennifer Higdon, and Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 28 by Lera Auerbach—a work of vivid emotional contrasts that evokes the spirit of both Bach and Shostakovich.
Adding a personal dimension to the evening, cellist Alexander Hersh performs a set of solo works, including Daniel Pesca’s quietly searching In Solitude, Marc Neikrug’s dramatic Petrus for cello and piano, and the world premiere of a newly composed piece based on the imaginative premise of music for another planet.
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.
