Mr. Kaplan played “New Dances of the League of David,” a 60-minute suite that incorporates new miniatures by this 21st-century band of composers into Schumann’s “Davidsbündlertänze,” a project commissioned by Lyrica Chamber Music and Metropolis Ensemble.
Pianist and composer Timo Andres discusses the story behind his new works, his first album release, his influences, and upcoming projects.
We are pleased to share that composer Timothy Andres’ debut CD release Shy and Mighty will be released by Nonesuch Records on May 18, 2010. The album includes ten interrelated piano pieces performed by Timo and pianist David Kaplan. Alex Ross from The New Yorker says the recording “is the kind of sprawling, brazen work that a young composer should write” and achieves “an unhurried grandeur that has rarely been felt in American music since John Adams came on the scene… Nothing is harder for a young composer than to find an individual voice. Andres is on his way: more mighty than shy, he sounds like himself.”
Timo’s CD Release Concert is Monday, May 17 at Le Poisson Rouge (7:30pm). Since the release also coincides with our Home Stretch concert, you can purchase tickets to our May 20 concert at Monday’s event and receive a free copy of Shy and Mighty!
