ICE NYC in Cologne

This classic ICE program brings together music from New York icons Steve Reich and Elliott Carter with a younger generation of pioneering New Yorkers that blur the boundaries between composer and performer, and break down barriers of genre. Featured is ICElab 2011 composer Marcos Balter's theatrical Æsopica, based on Æsop's beloved fables.

Program:

Steve Reich: Vermont Counterpoint, for flute and tape (1982)
Elliot Carter: Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux, for flute and clarinet (1985)
Mario Diaz de Leon: Altar of Two Serpents (2010)
Phyllis Chen: Mobius, for music box and electronics (2011)
Alvin Lucier: ICEcles for flute, clarinet, tuba and piano (2010)
Peter Evans: Agents of Mechanization, for trumpet, guitar, piano, percussion (2010)
