San Diego New Music closes the festival with a concert featuring Christopher Adler’s groovy classic Ecstatic Volutions in a Neon Haze and a world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Sidney Marquez Boquiren.
In their first concert 25 years ago, NOISE performed a classic of the mid-20th century, Pierre Boulez’s Le Marteau sans maître. On the 10th, they reprise this work, along with a selection of pieces performed by guest artists Duo Entre-Nous, visiting from Arizona.
In addition to honoring their longtime collaborator composer Stuart Saunders-Smith with a performance of Notebook for ensemble, NOISE performs solo works by Matthew Burtner, Salina Fisher, and others.
