Musicnow SERIES OPENS with a PROGRAM of CONTEMPORARY STRING COMPOSITIONS For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: November 9, 2015 Eileen Chambers, 312.294.3092 Rachelle Roe, 312.294.3090 Photos Available By Request [email protected] MusicNOW SERIES OPENS WITH A PROGRAM OF CONTEMPORARY STRING COMPOSITIONS New CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek to Introduce First MusicNOW Concert of the New Season Conductor Christopher Rountree Makes MusicNOW Debut Leading Musicians from the CSO in Ted Hearne’s Law of Mosaics November 23, at 7 p.m. at the Harris Theater CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s (CSO) acclaimed MusicNOW series— dedicated to showcasing contemporary music through an innovative concert experience—opens its 2015/16 season on Monday, November 23, at 7 p.m., at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park (205 E. Randolph Dr., Chicago). The November 23 concert marks the first MusicNOW program curated by newly-appointed CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek, who will introduce the program. Adams and Ogonek were appointed by the CSO’s Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti for a three-year term starting this season and continuing through the 2017/18 season. The program, titled unstrung, highlights a range of contemporary compositions for strings. Acclaimed American conductor and contemporary music champion Christopher Rountree makes his MusicNOW debut leading musicians from the CSO in Law of Mosaics, the acclaimed 2012 work for string orchestra by Chicago native Ted Hearne. A string quartet with electronics by Daniel Wohl and a work for solo cello and electronics by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho complete the program. The November 23 program opens with Glitch, written by Daniel Wohl, a Paris-born composer from Brooklyn. Glitch is a lively and animated piece, written in 2009 and scored for string quartet and electronics. It was premiered at the Carlsbad Music Festival in 2009 as a commission for the Calder Quartet. Wohl has received numerous commissions from contemporary ensembles including the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Mantra Percussion, Lucky Dragons, Mivos Quartet and others. Wohl’s latest project is a full length album titled Holographic, which is due for release January 2016. The program continues with Petals, a work for solo cello and electronics by prominent Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho (b. 1952). Composed in 1988, Petals was “written abruptly in a few days, but evidently after a long unconscious preparation,” according to Saariaho. This haunting work for solo cello and electronics alternates between nuanced coloristic sections and vigorous passages of greater rhythmic and melodic clarity. Winner of several international composition awards including the prestigious Nemmers Prize, Saariaho has been called “one of the most original compositional voices of our time,” by the Denver Post. In addition to writing extensively for smaller ensembles, Saariaho has recently turned to writing for larger orchestral forces with the award-winning work Circle Map (2012). Closing the program is Law of Mosaics, by Chicago native Ted Hearne. The 2012 work for string orchestra was influenced by the writings of David Shields in his 2010 book, Reality Hunger: A Manifesto, which Hearne calls, “a patchwork treatise on art and digital culture...” The piece was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition for the ensemble A Far Cry, a Grammy-nominated, self-conducted chamber orchestra who hail from Boston and gave the work its premiere in May 2013. Law of Mosaics utilizes extracts spliced from other pieces of music, notably the contemporary composer Andrew Norman’s The Companion Guide to Rome, which accompanies Hearne’s piece on an album by the same name which was released by A Far Cry. American conductor and composer Christopher Rountree is known for his innovative and progressive approach to music, whether he is conducting a concert or curating a program. He is the founder of the ensemble wild Up, which started in 2010 with no funding and no musicians, but has rapidly moved to the forefront in new music. In 2014, Rountree made his conducting debut on the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Green Umbrella contemporary music series, and has led other ensembles including the San Diego Symphony and the Colorado Symphony. Rountree has served as assistant conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and began a three-year stint as guest conductor and artist-in-residence with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra this year. The CSO’s MusicNOW 2015/16 series continues with concerts on March 7, 2016; May 9, 2016 and June 6, 2016. CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Elizabeth Ogonek’s work Falling Up, based on the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud and Shel Silverstein, is included on the March 7 program. Falling Up had its world premiere on May 14 this year with Ensemble 360 at Sheffield Theatres in England. The world premiere of a new work by CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Samuel Adams commissioned for the MusicNOW series is scheduled for the June 6 program. More information about the MusicNOW series is available at cso.org/musicnow.

In his TED Talk, “Mark Applebaum, the Mad Scientist of Music,” he describes how his boredom with every familiar aspect of music has driven him to evolve as an artist, re-imagining the act of performing one element at a time, and disregarding the question, “is it music?” in favor of “is it interesting?” Wristwatch: Geology is scored for any number of people striking rocks together.
