Ensemble Musica Nova present repertoire concert which moves between solo and ensemble

pieces by: James Tenney, Larry Polansky, Dganit Elyakim and Carolyn Chen

Performers: Maayan Tsadka, Adi Snir, Orr Sinay, Adam Cohen and Ayelet Lerman

You are invited to a concert of contemporary repertoire which seeks to expose interchanging relationships among solo and ensemble. Both pieces by James Tenney, taken from the series “Postal Pieces", utilize a compositional structure that quickly reveals itself to the listener while paving the way towards an experiential auditory surrender. Larry Polansky's piece invites the ensemble to transform itself from a collection of fragments into a unified solo entity. Dganit Elyakim's piece offers a perspective of the solo as a dual relationship, a duet with an electronic system which presents the performer himself. Carolyn Chen's work maintains a relationship of separation among the instruments of the drum set to be mediated by the performer - a soloist that feels like the conductor of a drums ensemble.
