MAIN STAGE | Collage New Music | Triple Duo
Edward M. Pickman Concert Hall, Longy School of Music, 27 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA
The season finale welcomes back David Hoose to the program in a concert whose centerpiece is Elliott Carter’s Triple Duo , a virtuosic work that divides the sextet into three duos. Written in 1983, ten years into Collage’s history, it is paired with Schuller’s work, Duologue from the same year, whose 100th birthday was recently celebrated, a longtime Collage friend and former guest conductor. Longtime Collage friends Richard Cornell, whose 1998 Collage commission is reprised, Yu-Hui Chang and Augusta Read Thomas are featured, with music following in the lineage the two elder composers featured on the second half.
