Listen to unusual, exceptional takes on chamber music, including excerpts of some New Sounds Live performances by Hub New Music and the artist known as Time Wharp. Plus, new music by the seven-piece chamber band Exceptet. With a distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin and cello, Detroit-based Hub New Music is Michael Avitabile (flutes), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets), Magnolia Rohrer (violin/viola), and Jesse Christeson (cello). The band collaborates with living composers on projects, and commissioned several works for their tenth anniversary season. From the New Sounds Live concerts, recorded at Kaufman Music Center's Merkin Hall, hear new work by Angélica Negrón, which includes field recordings from her trips to Puerto Rico. It’s called “Pedazos intermittentes de un lugar ya fragmento,” or “Intermittent Fragments of a Fractured Place.” Also, listen to new work from Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy, and American composer Nico Muhly. Also, listen to music from Exceptet, an ensemble fashioned after Stravinsky’s iconic L'Histoire du soldat: wind and brass (clarinet, trumpet, trombone, bassoon), strings (violin, double bass), percussion, and voice. From their new record, Tree Lines, listen to “figment”, a pulsating work by New York-based composer-pianist Paul Kerekes, where “off-kilter, interlocking motivic fragments propel the energy beyond each downbeat, while repeated pitches fade in and out of the texture at different speeds”, (Bandcamp liner notes.) Plus, hear a New Sounds Live performance, recorded at National Sawdust, from Time Wharp, the work of Atlanta-born, Brooklyn-based producer Kaye Loggins. - Caryn Havlik Program #4975, Chamber Music, of a Sort (First aired 2/7/2025) ARTIST: ExceptetWORK: Paul Kerekes: figment [1:00]RECORDING: Tree LinesSOURCE: New Focus RecordingsINFO: https://newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/tree-lines ARTIST: Hub New MusicWORK: Angélica Negrón: Pedazos intermitentes de un lugar ya fragmentado [12:08]RECORDING: New Sounds Live, Dec. 2024, Merkin HallSOURCE: This performance not commercially available.INFO: https://hubnewmusic.org ARTIST: Hub New MusicWORK: Donnacha Dennehy: Concertina [9:22]RECORDING: New Sounds Live, Dec. 2024, Merkin HallSOURCE: This performance not commercially available.INFO: https://hubnewmusic.org ARTIST: Time WharpWORK: No Furniture/Tanagra [9:01]RECORDING: New Sounds Live at National Sawdust, Oct. 2024SOURCE: This performance not commercially available.INFO: https://timewharp.bandcamp.com ARTIST: ExceptetWORK: Paul Kerekes: figment [5:45]RECORDING: Tree LinesSOURCE: New Focus RecordingsINFO: https://newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/tree-lines ARTIST: Hub New MusicWORK: Nico Muhly: Drown [8:46]RECORDING: New Sounds Live, Dec. 2024, Merkin HallSOURCE: This performance not commercially available.INFO: https://hubnewmusic.org ARTIST: Hub New MusicWORK: Andrew Norman: Hubbub VII [1:01]RECORDING: New Sounds Live, Dec. 2024, Merkin HallSOURCE: This performance not commercially available.INFO: https://hubnewmusic.org
