Music Director Louis Langrée has withdrawn from this CSO special program on May 3 due to an injury. CSO Assistant Conductor Daniel Wiley will conduct the program, WIRES, featuring Bryce Dessner and his Concerto for Two Pianos with internationally acclaimed piano duo and sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like an interwoven tapestry of wires, both literal and metaphorical, composer Bryce Dessner — member of Grammy-winning band The National — along with piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèque join Louis Langrée and the CSO to explore the 21st century sound.
Bryce Dessner’s Wires, on which he will also perform, is a modern fusion of rhythm and sound that puts the spotlight on three wired instruments: the electric guitar, harp and piano. Close personal friends of Bryce, Katia and Marielle Labèque, take on Dessner’s moody and textural Concerto for Two Pianos — a piece of Rachmaninoff-like athleticism written especially for them. And while not from the 21st Century, the atmospheric Gymnopédie no. 1 & no. 2 from French composer Erik Satie, offer a beautiful lightness between Bryce’s works.
