Visiting artists Chartreuse will perform a concert of new music for string trio at Studio Z on Saturday, July 14, featuring works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Leah Asher, Kaija Saariaho, and Henry Purcell. Violinist Myra Hinrichs shares a preview...
Because we live in different parts of the country, in the summer we converge on a single place and learn a bunch of music in a very short period of time. So that’s what we’re doing right now! In this show you’ll hear pieces from past seasons, as well as fresh picks from this week! When we commission pieces, we like to go back and forth with ideas about sounds and then see how the composer organizes those into a form. They can adjust based on how we play their in-process ideas so the piece really fits our group. The pieces where we are part of the process and we feel like we have agency often become our favorites. It’s exciting to grow the string trio corner of the repertoire with music by composers we admire.
Growing up playing classical music, we did a lot of research to find out what composers were thinking and how they wanted their music to sound. When we play new music, we know exactly what they want, and we’re the ones who get to create the style book for musicians of the future.
