Hinge Quartet presents a program of music inspired by, and finding new meanings in, the detritus of our collective cultures; featuring deconstructed rock music, cutting-edge live electronics, wild microtonal synths, and recomposed music of the Classical era. The program is centered around the wild and quirky "Fleisch" by German composer Enno Poppe, which he describes as “crushing the syntax of distorted and polluted rock music stereotypes” with new musical possibilities rising from this “rubble.” The other works on this program find inspiration in wildly different sources, from Carl Schimmel’s work inspired by a 1782 illustrated “posture-master” contorting his body into the letters of the alphabet, to artistic director Dan VanHassel’s radical recomposition of Haydn’s 1777 piano sonata in D Major. Sophisticated live electronic processing underpin the world premiere of a Hinge Quartet commission by Florida-based Taiwanese composer Chen-Hui Jen, as well as a beautiful, meditative work by Paris-based Turkish composer Didem Coskunseven.We are excited to welcome special guest Aaron Likness on piano and keyboard for this concert!
