New Music

Eco Ensemble
David Milnes, conductor

Three concerts. Eleven composers. A stunning exploration of some of the most exciting, innovative musical creations from world-class composers. In their second season appearance at Cal Performances, David Milnes conducts the spectacular Eco Ensemble, Berkeley’s professional new music ensemble-inresidence, in this three-concert survey of the sounds of today and the future. Traveling the leading edges of contemporary composition, this remarkable journey begins with the unique utterances of Gerard Grisey, continues with the powerful, heartfelt creations of Magnus Lindberg and Kaija Saariaho, and concludes with the visceral, evocative music of Franck Bedrossian and Nico Muhly.
