[New Music]
Los Angeles-based chamber ensemble Bridge to Everywhere returns to Boston Court Pasadena for a cross-cultural program of contemporary music that reflects our interconnected world. This intimate concert consists entirely of original pieces written and arranged by Bridge to Everywhere ensemble members, including 6 world premieres. This new music explores connections across diverse musical traditions including Hindustani and Carnatic classical, Eastern European folk, traditional West African, American folk, Western classical, and jazz. The ensemble envisions this special program as a musical sandbox, where the group delves into new experimentations of electro-acoustics, novel instrumentations, and theatrical elements, together with their cross-cultural sounds.
