International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) - The Bright and Hollow Sky: Music of Nathan Davis
A “powerhouse of new music programming” (The New Yorker), ICE has established itself as one of the leading and most innovative musical ensembles in the U.S. and a champion of young composers. Working with the musicians of ICE, Nathan Davis has crafted a cycle of beautiful new works for a small combination of instruments that transform into an architecture of color, texture, rhythm and breath. Using microphones as microscopes, he draws out the fine details of sound that exist all around us, making music that magnifies the essential characteristics of instruments and the fragile athleticism of playing them.
