“eighth blackbird’s performances are the picture of polish and precision, and they seem to be thoroughly engaged...by music in a broad range of contemporary styles.” —The New York Times
Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music
Offering audiences provocative and engaging performances is a hallmark of eighth blackbird performances. In attempting to make new music accessible to wider audiences, the ensemble often plays music from memory or stages its performances with a theatrical flair. Currently serving as ensemble-in-residence at the University of Richmond, eighth blackbird is active in teaching young artists about contemporary music. In the first of two concerts this season, eighth blackbird features the music of Stephen Hartke, described as one of America’s “Young Lions” by
The New York Times. The concert will feature the East Coast premiere of a new sextet written for eighth blackbird in addition to other works of the composer. Hartke will be in residence for this concert and will discuss his works in a post-performance talk back.
