Don't miss the premiere of Robert Ashley's new work, written for Switzerland's Ensemble Tzara.
The plan for realizing a cooperation between American composer Robert Ashley and Ensemble Tzara came up when Swiss hornist Samuel Stoll spent an artist's residency in New York City. Stoll met Ashley and told him about the exotic sound of the "fourth Swiss language," Rumantsch. Fascinated, Ashley composed a work for Ensemble Tzara based on the rhythms of the Rhaeto-Romanic language.
Kyle Gann's biography of Robert Ashley is availalble from the University of Illinois Press
