Description | In a new project by the Alexander String Quartet and pianist Joyce Yang, Samuel Adams—composer in residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra— explores the resonance of the classical forms of Mozart with his own unique musical voice. As a composer whose coming of age occurred at the moment when recorded music became immediately accessible through digital media, Adams is curious to know what is rhetorically kept (or lost) when a classical form comes forth “into the flesh” out of context. |
