Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York.

In 2009, David Harrington asked me to write a piece for Kronos Quartet for a Australian String Quartet performance in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I live just two blocks from the park and spend For over 30 years, the Australian String Quartet has created unforgettable many mornings running around it. The park for me symbolizes much of what I love performances for national and international audiences. Dedicated to musical about New York, especially the diversity of Brooklyn with its myriad cultures and excellence with a distinctly Australian character, their purpose is to create chemistry communities. My father’s family, Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia, also lived and amplify intimacy through experiences that connect people with string quartet near the park for many years in the 1940s and 1950s before moving to Queens. music. Aheym means ‘homeward’ in Yiddish, and this piece is written as musical evocation of From home base at the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, ASQ the idea of flight and passage.

Leurs voix virtuoses, lyriques, se mêlent ou se distinguent à l’envi. Pas une nuance d’intonation, d’intensité, de timbre qui leur échappe dans le jeu infi ni des textures. Au compositeur, aux interprètes, ils ouvrent un monde aussi riche qu’impressionnant. Pour cet album inaugural, les musiciennes du Quatuor Esmé suivent trois auteurs dans leurs premières œuvres à seize cordes. Fraîcheur et audace donc, sur la page comme au pupitre. Quand Beethoven arrive à Vienne, l’année de ses 22 ans, le quatuor possède déjà une histoire. Depuis le milieu du XVIIIe siècle, bourgeois et aristocrates s’y livrent en amateurs.
