DMICS Presents: Lisa Moore and CRUX

DMICS Presents: Lisa Moore and CRUX

The Del Mar International Composers Symposium (DMICS) is thrilled to present Lisa Moore and clarinettist Lloyd Van't Hoff, who together comprise CRUX. Blending the warm, rich energy of piano and clarinet, this cross-continental Australian-born duo have performed diverse and powerful programs from New York City to Melbourne. With repertoire ranging from classics by Berg, Bernstein, and Brahms to new works by modern composers such as Martin Bresnick, Elena Kats-Chernin, and Peter Sculthorpe, CRUX approaches everything they perform with incredible virtuosity and panache. This performance will also feature several works for solo piano written for Moore, including by Martin Bresnick and Melody Bridgham.

DMICS exists to encourage the sharing of new musical ideas between composers, performers, and the community, and to present the best new concert music from around the world in the City of Del Mar. In particular, DMICS is designed to allow composers and performers a space to collaborate intimately on the creation and presentation of new works, while inviting the public to experience that process first-hand. DMICS is a sponsored program of the Del Mar Foundation. For more information, please visit delmarcomposers.org.
