Ecstatic Music Festival
The Ecstatic Music Festival is a showcase of imaginative collaborations between more than 150 composers, songwriters and performers.The festival starts on January 17th, continuing until March 28. The line-up includes - among others - Dan Deacon, Nadia Sirota, Doveman and Owen Pallett as well the Chiara String Quartet performing the music of Nico Muhly and Valgeir Sigurðsson.
The Chiara String Quartet asked four composers to create a new work and curate their evening; these series being called Creator/Curator. For their third in the series, they focus on Nico and on January 19th perform world premieres of his 'Diacritical Marks' along with Valgeir's 'Nebraska Quartet', written specifically for this occasion. The quartet will also be performing other music by both Nico and Valgeir as well as music that has influenced Nico in the past.
Curator Judd Greenstein has written a nice little piece on the performance that you can read here, and tickets can be bought here.
