Exponential Ensemble Season 15 opener
In Essence
Friday, September 26, 2025 - 7pm
Marc A. Scorca Hall, New York City
330 7th Avenue, 7th floor
Join us at 6:30pm for a pre-concert reception in the 7th floor lobby.
In Essence explores how a single musical idea can transform into a fascinating musical journey. This program begins with Valerie Coleman's Red Clay & Mississippi Delta, a reflection on her musical heritage from the South, while also showing off the virtuosity of the wind quintet instruments through bluesy and flashy riffs. The Light is the Same by Reena Esmail is based on two ragas, or Indian scales, providing a flurry of contrasting colors and textures. The wind quartet by Rossini is, in essence, a miniature opera where each instrument is featured as a soloist. The works by Robert Muczysnki and György Ligeti are both sets of miniatures showcasing their unique and masterful approaches to harmony, rhythm, and phrasing.
