INCONCERT 23 TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE MICHAEL TORKE Adjustable Wrench • Michael Torke emerged on the new music scene in the 1980s with a style that combines elements of Minimalism, jazz and popular music. Adjustable Wrench dates from 1987 and comes from a body of work that reflects an array of influences ranging from Bartók and Philip Glass to Chaka Khan and the Talking Heads. • Torke originally composed this piece for a chamber ensemble of 15 players divided into three groups, each comprised of four instruments paired with a keyboard instrument: woodwinds with piano, brass with marimba, and strings with a synthesizer. The composer however, adapted the score to make it suitable for an orchestra by allowing the string parts to be performed by multiple musicians. -
