New Music Concert at The Norma Terris Theater in Chester

Exciting concert…4:30 PM Saturday…in time for dinner in Chester!

I-Park presents Five New Compositions at The Terris Theater in Chester, Connecticut on August 24 at 4:30 pm. This concert is the culmination of a week-long, in-person residency at I-Park’s artists’ retreat in East Haddam, Connecticut. In this intimate, collegial setting, the participants will have shared ideas, inspired one another and shared meals together while workshopping and rehearsing five new works for their world premieres.

This is the fourth iteration of I-Park’s popular Composers + Musicians Collaborative Residency. This year’s ensemble-in-residence is Hub New Music. Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a “prime mover of piping hot 21st century repertoire” (Washington Post). Founded in 2013, the Detroit-based ensemble has commissioned dozens of new works for its distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin and cello. Hub’s “nimble quartet of winds and strings” (NPR) actively collaborates with today’s most celebrated composers on projects that traverse today’s rich musical landscape. Hub New Music consists of Michael Avitabile (flutes), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets), Meg Rohrer (violin/viola) and Jesse Christeson (cello). Currently based in Detroit, the ensemble’s name was inspired by its founding city of Boston’s reputation as a hub of innovation. I-Park is proud to have brought together the following highly accomplished composers and Hub New Music: Ethan Gonzalez Soledad, Florida, Giordano Bruno do Nascimento, Germany, Celka Ojakangas, Los Angeles, Daniel Sabzghabaei, New York and Daniel Wohl, Los Angeles.
