From Haydn to Radical In the Carriage Barn
Charles Wuorinen's Second Trio opened the program and stood out as the most radical piece, delivering complex rhythms and textures that challenged listeners. Harvey Sollberger on flute and Joel Krosnick on cello joined Wuorinen in a strong performance, while Ivan Wiener’s String Trio opened with emphatic dissonance and solid rhythm. Allan Blank and another composer used voice in contrasting ways, enriching a program that balanced traditional lines with contemporary exploration.
