Join us to hear two important recent works by British composer Harrison Birtwistle. Lied, a sensual and mysterious duet written for Alfred Brendel’s 75th birthday, will be heard alongside the ebullient and rhythmic Axe Manual for piano and percussion. Ralph Shapey is remembered with his Evocation No. 2, and a rising voice in French music, Gérard Pesson, seduces with exquisite refinement in Mes Béatitudes.
