Esprit's concert on January 29th includes two premieres - one by Samuel Andreyev and another by Philip Cashian.

Program:

the world's turning - Philip Cashian

The Flash of the Instant - Samuel Andreyev

Berceuse - Robert Aitken

Over Light Earth - Daniel Bjarnason

Alex Pauk, conductor

Robert Aitken, flute

Aitken's work reflects the balance of Yin and Yang in a commemoration of family members, friends, and associates "who sleep before us". Cashian exlores momentum, stasis, mechanisms and patterns inspired by new sculptures of Stephen Vince, while Andreyev's transcendent sonic poetry moves in prismatic micro-variations. Bjarnason draws inspiration from and pays tribute to New York School painters Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.
