This concert also features the world premiere of "Baile" by Xenia Pestova Bennett, whose new work for toy piano, clavichord, viola da gamba, and recorded women's voices explores the universal themes of home, migration, and belonging. Other repertoire on the programme includes Jean Ahn's duo "Archimedes' Principle" and Tal Arbel's "Alchemy". Stay around for a panel discussion with Ada Witczyk, who has inspired over 200 contemporary compositions for baroque violin; Brooke Green, whose compositions often draw inspiration from human stories and social justice; and Xenia Pestova Bennett, who enjoys a career as a composer and performer on modern piano, magnetic resonator piano, and toy piano. This panel will be chaired by harpsichordist Yonit Kosovske, a champion of new music for harpsichord as a solo and collaborative instrument.
