Six Composers, Three Cities, Six Ensembles, Three NYC Venues

Metropolis Ensemble performs new music by Boston-based rising star composer Kati Agócs. Three City Dash is a one-time only festival presented by Meet The Composer. In April 2011, three concerts at three different venues in New York City will feature world premieres by six composers from three different cities. Each work will be performed by one of the ensembles that Meet The Composer supports.

Metropolis will premiere Vessel by Kati Agócs in the context of several other works by Kati for similar instrumentation: Awakening Galatea and Division of Heaven and Earth.

Also on the program, the ensemble Music From China will present Pu Songling's Bizarre Tales by Yu-Hui Chang, who has written primarily for Western instruments in the past, and now is experimenting more fully with Chinese instruments.
