NEPACMS Presents: "Sound Shapes"

Description

The deep, organic resonance of the bass clarinet weaves through the seamless sections of York Bowen’s Phantasy Quintet, creating a single, continuous shape. In Christopher Cerrone’s Nervous Systems, symmetry is found in the tension between rugged modernist structures and the fluid rhythms of the sea. The program culminates with the Brahms Clarinet Quintet, a masterwork that achieves a perfect geometric arc by folding its final echoes back into its very first breath.
