Friction + Ensemble Affect
Ensemble Affect features fantastical music of the past while Friction Quartet presents a modern masterpiece inspired by the same early music.
Ensemble Affect opens the concert with a selection of intimate works for violin and harpsichord from the Baroque era. This half features the works of Georg Muffat, Jean-Féry Rebel and Marin Marais exemplifying the compositional marvel of writing for two instruments. On display is a passion and dedication to the exploration of early music; not just the technical aspects of historically informed performance, but the excitement and drama that it encompasses.
Friction Quartet closes the concert with a reprise of a recent commission generously funded by Chamber Music America; "Comedia" by Paul Mortilla. In addition to the string quartet, this exceptional work features four singers and harpsichord and is inspired by a large range of literature and music - most notably from around the renaissance age. This piece is written in extended just intonation, an entirely different way of experiencing music, and utilizes the ability of singers and string players to technically play an infinite set of notes. Taking words from the Dante's "Paradiso" and from the Apollo 11 launch program, this piece is as if a heap of early music were dropped into a portal that spit it out into random locations and times. New worlds and new experiences await!
