A trumpet, a bassoon and a panoply of percussion enter a bar, all willing to pay the bill. In the middle of an orchestra, the conversation would be different, with moments and purposes of intervention meticulously calculated and always at the service of the conductor’s intention. In a recital, the arguments are different; eye to eye in a performative situation in front of the audience. The performers are the protagonists. They seem to tell stories with the sounds they produce. These are simple vignettes, brief descriptions and precise exclamations in Jim Stephenson’s music. Wood and wind taken to the limit with Daniel McCarthy. Kelly Rossum’s tribute to the teacher-student relationship inspired by a Japanese parable. Pocket rhythms evocative of musical traditions from different regions of the world, by Gene Koshinski.
