Michael Maierhof Sugar 1 West Coast premiere
Johannes Ciconia, Matteo da Perugia, Jacob Senleches, Solage, Johannes Symonis, Jean Vaillant Selected works from the late 14th century
Keiko Harada Bone # U.S. premiere
The season explodes open with Michael Maierhof's visionary trio, a work which provoked one critic to write, "After Sugar 1, Xenakis will sound like Mozart." In a program jumping backward and forward through eight centuries, late Medieval songs and a Baroque masterpiece converse with today's new music, as M.E.C. introduces Los Angeles to accordion wizard Teodoro Anzellotti and the concentrated musical poetry of emerging Japanese composer Keiko Harada.
