Caroline Shaw received the Pulitzer Prize for her spectacular choral work Partita for 8 Singers when she was thirty years old. Alongside Shaw’s playful music, tonight the serene almost-silences of Salvatore Sciarrino will sound as a contrast.
1. Partita for 8 Singers – Caroline Shaw, performed by Roomful of Teeth conducted by Brad Wells.
2. Let Me Die Before I Wake – Salvatore Sciarrino, performed by Reto Bieri (bass clarinet).
3. Il suono e il tacere – Salvatore Sciarrino, performed by Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI conducted by Tito Ceccherini.
4. Salvatore Sciarrino: Shadow and Sound. Same as above.
