San Francisco Contemporary Music Players

This performance by the SF Contemporary Music Players is concert of works that draw deeply from European musical and literary traditions, at times rewriting them but never erasing them completely. The season's first world premiere serves as a companion piece to Dallapiccola's nocturne, which opens the concert. Then two works for voice and ensemble, inspired by Italian masters lead to music by a modern-era Renaissance man; architect, author and composer Iannis Xenakis.
