Violinist Jennifer Gersten, a two-time ASF fellow in music, delivers an imaginative program of six solo violin works by experimental Scandinavia-based composers, three of which will be presented for the first time in the United States.
These works push the violin to its dynamic and timbral extremes, traversing strange territories of far-flung birds, fragmented mutterings, and butterfly wingflaps. The program will conclude with a world premiere of a new work by Gersten and the Norwegian composer and double bassist Inga Margrete Aas.
