Mario Diaz de Leon + Talea Ensemble + TILT Brass + Claire Chase

Tuesday, October 22, 2013 @ 8:00 pm

Composer and guitarist Mario Diaz de Leon, whose recent works have been hailed for their “hallucinatory intensity” by The New York Times, returns to Roulette with a concert of new works for ensembles. Featuring the world premiere of The Chapel Abyss, an octet composed for Talea Ensemble and commissioned by Roulette/NYSCA, and Bellum for brass septet and electronics, composed for TILT Brass, and Luciform for flute and electronics, performed by Claire Chase, Diaz de Leon continues his ongoing collaborations with dynamic classical ensembles of the highest calibre, combining the inventive language of contemporary classical music with overtones of underground metal and noise/drone.

Program:

Bellum (2013) for brass septet and electronics with TILT Brass Luciform (2013) for flute and electronics with soloist Claire Chase

Trembling Time II (2009) for string trio with Talea Ensemble
