Program Notes

The Artists

Sharp, tart music that packs a rhythmic punch: There's a 20th-century classic by Stravinsky, and newer works by John Adams and Louis Andriessen. The Adams piece is a sequel to his Chamber Symphony, called Son of Chamber Symphony in affectionate B-movie style, while Andriessen’s De Staat remains a raucous, visceral landmark of modern music.

The Program

Ensemble ACJW
John Adams, Conductor
Jeremy Denk, Piano

Sound Insights: Louis Andriessen

Drawing on a background in both jazz and avant-garde composition, Louis Andriessen creates works that can be “narrative … anecdotes … [or] sound hallucinations,” according to the composer.
