Musical Mavericks in Malden
Advertisement
Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble initiates its 52nd season with a concert in Malden, MA, continuing its mission of sharing new music to the extended Boston-area community. The program highlights music by composers and musicians with ties to the city and the greater Boston area, and also tributes Malden’s Asian American community with works of Asian American composers.

Malden-based composer and trumpeter Jason Huffman Parabolysis uses geometric shapes to track changes in pitch and tempo in clever ways. Eun Young Lee’s Jindo, eponymously titled after an island located southwest of the Korean peninsula, pays homage to more than 300 lives—many of them high schoolers—lost in the 2014 sinking of a ferry. Kyong Mee Choi encourages listeners to examine A Bright Side via a scintillating interplay between trumpet and percussion instruments. Gilbert Galindo invites us to “the outer fringe,” sonically in an enthralling duo for violin and cello.

Kyong Mee Choi: A Bright Side
Gilbert Galindo: Living Oblivion
