Viennese composer Karlheinz Essl will perform with junctQín keyboard collective. This event is a culmination of a week-long residency by Essl, hosted by junctQín. Steeped in the language of serialism, Essl’s aesthetics address the lineage of the Second Viennese School, while bringing it into today’s society through his use of computer-generated soundscapes. The program will include two works for ensemble: Pandora’s Secret for music box and live electronics and the world première of Junctions for piano (2 players) and live electronics. The members of junctQín will also be featured individually; Sequiturs V, XIII and XIV are solos for toy piano, extended piano and kalimba with live electronics. Karlheinz Essl will be joining the ensemble in the performance of electronics.
